University of Kentucky UCA Champs

Back in January, the University of Kentucky Wildcats had won their 19th UCA National Championship at the ESPN Wild World of Sports. They have been going to this competition for the past 28 years. This team seems to not be able to clinch the title 3 years in a row but they always seem to gain it back the following year... Do I detect a pattern?
Unlike the North Carolina State University, The University of Kentucky's Cheerleading team is considered a spirit team but yet apparently falling from a 3 high pyramid is just like getting hit by a 300 pound line-man.
As you will see in the below video the University of Kentucky had great use of signs, pom poms and megaphones... the use of things like that will score you big and easy points on your score sheet. Those points could be the difference between a First and Second place.
Here is there performance at the 2012 UCA Nationals in Florida...

North Carolina State University

At most colleges and universities, cheerleading is not listed under there women's sports tab, because most people believe that cheerleading is not a sport. like I have said before cheering for a football team or a basketball team is not a sport. Although most Collegiate Cheerleading teams do cheer on the sidelines of there schools basketball or football teams, the teams think of those games as practice for when they are competing at a big competition.
At North Carolina State University, when you go to there athletics page and you place your mouse on the schedules tab. right there is black and white is the word cheerleading, under the women's sports section.
These cheerleaders work hard at what they do, as does all the other teams out there. Here is a little taste of how they did at NCA Competition in 2011
