The Competition Heats Up
It’s almost April which means the cheerleading competition the Columtreal University cheer squad has been training for since they won the competition last year has come around again.
It’s always an intense couple of days in the Florida sunshine, with cheerleaders worldwide flipping, twisting, and chanting in a fierce competition which will see only the best crowned the winners of Cheer Worlds 2025.
A Lucky Opportunity
This year, to support the squad, CU are sponsoring spots on the aircraft for people to join them on the trip. Names will be picked in a lottery-style draw. Please sign up here if interested: Forum Columtreal University CU Cheerleading Worlds lottery sign up sheet
A Word from the Cheer Captain
When asked what she was most excited about this year for the competition, Cheerleading Captain Shilo Casen stated “I am excited to bring a new and innovative performance that, we hope, will be a remembered and mentioned for years to come . As well as seeing the talented and original routines of all the other squads in the league and we are so grateful to be invited too compete at Worlds once again and would like to wish everyone else good luck in the competition.”
In 2024 the Looters Cheer Squad won somewhat controversially with rumours of a fight backstage and possibilities that some of the judges were swayed with bribes and other favours, however nothing was ever proven despite complaints by their rivals.
Maybe this year will see the Looters keep a clean sheet, and a clean sweep.
