DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Georgia Southern's All-Girl Cheerleading team picked up its second national championship at the 2011 National Cheerleaders Association/National Dance Alliance (NCA/NDA) Collegiate Cheer and Dance Championship in Daytona Beach, Fla. Both the All-Girl and Coed squads competed Thursday and Friday, April 7-8th, with the title going to the Eagle All-Girl team Friday night.
In the division, Georgia Southern's All-Girl team posted an 8.804 score to take the top honor over 20 other teams. Captains Bethany Burton and Janee Demery were freshmen on the team that won the first All-Girl Cheerleading national championship for Georgia Southern in 2008.
The Eagles' Coed squad recorded its highest finish to date in the competition in only its second trip to the finals. UTEP won the title with just .037 points of separation between the Miners and Eagles.
More than 250 teams in 28 division categories competed for a national title with teams judged on their high-energy routines that include partner stunts, pyramids, tumbling, cheer and dance.
Tryouts for the 2011-2012 edition of the All-Girl and Co-ed squads will be held May 20-22, 2011 at the Hanner Complex on the campus of Georgia Southern University. For more information, please click here or contact Georgia Southern Cheerleading at GSUCheer@GeorgiaSouthern.edu.
