Cheerleading
American University Cheerleading takes on NCA College Nationals after a grueling 16 hour bus ride.
On Wednesday, we had our official practice at the Ocean Center here in Daytona Beach and had a team dinner that night. Thursday, we competed in D1 Intermediate preliminaries in the Bandshell. We got our scores, and we made it to finals tomorrow! I’m so proud of these ladies and all we’ve accomplished. Watch out Daytona, we’re coming back better than ever tomorrow for finals. #TheWorkIsWorthIt

Cheer Banquet
It’s been an amazing season and I’m extremely proud of all we’ve overcome and accomplished. Thanks so much to my coach and my teammates for Rookie of the Year and the hilarious superlatives. I’ll miss you seniors, and I’ll see the rest of you at tryouts in two weeks!
Nationals Score Results and Beach Pics
The scores are out and we placed 7th. We’ve had an amazing time, learned so much, and accomplished our goal of hitting a clean routine. Next year though, we’re coming back with a vengeance, so watch out Daytona! Until then, we can finally say the words “beach” and “ocean” without our coach giving us ‘the look.’
NCA College Cheerleading Nationals Day 2 (Finals)
NCA Cheerleading Finals have arrived! In case you were wondering, we killed it and accomplished our biggest goal of hitting a clean routine. No matter what the scores come out to be, I’m proud to be an American University cheerleader today.
