UP tops The 2008 UAAP Cheerdance Competition

Portents of the victory at hand were all over: the frills-and-pop-song-free, adrenalin-pumping music, dominated by indigenous elements, so unlike those used by the other schools'; the well-coordinated, smart, snappy moves; the difficult, but well-performed stunts; the complicated lifts and pyramids; cheerdancer Frances Fleta bringing home the Samsung Stunner Award. This last one may have been a consequence of the win, but what the heck.

Fact is, people...

UP won!

The cheerdancers did a wonderful job, not to mention the lifters, the spotters, and, of course, their coach. Not everyone would get to appreciate all the hard, grueling work involved in putting together a performance like this. Congratulations go to everyone involved in the preparation for the event and, of course, to every Isko and Iska out there.

As the event's host said, we've won the bragging rights for yet another year.

Push on, UP!
