Arellano reasserts NCAA cheerleading supremacy with seven-peat
MANILA, Philippines — The Arellano dynasty in the NCAA cheerleading scene continued on Thursday.
For the seventh straight time, the Cheifsquad won the gold in the NCAA Season 101 Cheerleading Competition presented by the Philippine Sports Commission at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Arellano extended its championship streak that began in 2017 during the grand old league’s 92nd season after registering a total score of 231 points.
“Nagpapasalamat ako sa mga bata ko, kung ‘di dahil sa kanila, ‘di magiging successful itong seventh straight,” coach Lucky San Juan said.
“Ito ‘yong challenge, kahit sabihin nating nanalo [ngayon], mahirap pa din para sa next year.”
“This victory is a testament to the hard work, perseverance, determination, and teamwork behind it,” said Francisco Paulino Cayco, president of Arellano University.
Much like last year, the podium’s ensemble remained.
In Season 100, when Arellano won its sixth straight chip, Perpetual Help snagged the silver while Letran won the bronze.
In the same exact fashion, the Perpsquad and the Letran Cheering Squad rounded out the podium.
Perpetual Help tallied 221 while Letran scored 199.5.
Even with the added pressure of winning the cheerleading trophy for the seventh straight time, San Juan’s trust in his Chiefsquad never wavered.
“Ang laki ng tiwala ko sa kanila. Sobra nilang inaral at nireview ‘yang mga ‘yan.”
Arellano took home the grand prize of P100,00 while Perpetual and Letran won P75,000 and P50,000, respectively.
Emilio Aguinaldo College missed out on a podium finish in fourth place after finishing with 185.5 points. Jose Rizal University cracked the Top 5 after totaling 162 markers. (Pool story)
