UAAP Cheerdance Competition date set

MANILA, Philippines – The date for the keenly awaited UAAP Season 87 Cheerdance Competition has been set to unfold on December 1 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Defending champion FEU Cheering Squad eyes a third title in four seasons, with perennial contenders NU Pep Squad and UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe looking to unseat it from the top.

“The UAAP CDC for this season promises bigger, better, and more spectacular performances from all eight schools as they prepare stronger, better, and together for one of the league’s biggest events,” said tournament director Rod Roque, who is UE’s representative to the UAAP board of managing directors.

After falling short of its title-retention bid last year, NU is out to reclaim its throne and capture a league-tying eighth championship.

UST and the UP Pep Squad, meanwhile, aim to end a year-long title drought as they get a chance to break their tie at the top of the all-time standings.

Also expected to be in the medal mix is the Adamson Pep Squad, which finished fourth last season.

The order of performance has yet to be determined and will be decided by a drawing of lots in a press conference to be announced later. – Rappler.com
