ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The University of New Mexico All-Girl and Co-ed Cheerleading Teams will be competing in the 2009 Universal Cheerleaders Association National Championships, Jan. 16-18, in Orlando, Fla.
“The teams have been working hard for the last few months on the court and off the court to prepare for competition,” said spirit program coordinator Tracy Denton.
Both teams, along with a four-person stunt group, have qualified for the national competition. This weekend’s competition scores are based on a 2.5-minute routine and a video of the crowd-leading work that the teams do at their home events.
Fans can follow the teams’ progress during the competition through a link on GoLobos.com. The competition will be aired on ESPN at a later date.
