Eight universities battled their hearts out but only three of them made it to the podium finish in this year’s competition.
Last year’s defending champion, Adamson Pep Squad, landed in third place with their Lion King-inspired number. The San Marcelino Squad failed to defend the title but their routine was surely talked about on Twitter.

“HAKUNA MATATA!
Congratulations to our klasmeyts from the Adamson Pep Squad for finishing 2nd runner up in the UAAP Season 81 Cheerdance Competition. You truly made us proud! Continue to Soar Beyond Horizons!#OrangeIsTheNewBlue”
The second place went to the FEU Cheering Squad with their Got Funk-inspired piece. Although, there were many flaws in their routine, the level of difficulty and the entertainment value + costume made them land in the bridesmaid finish.

The most coveted title of this year’s competition went to the NU Bulldogs. This is literally a comeback from the dead as they emerged as the champs after not placing any in last year’s cheerdance. Their flawless routine and the high level of difficulty of their stunts and pyramids wowed the crowd in the arena and on Twitterverse.
