(Media-Newswire.com) - Morehead State University’s coed and all-girl cheerleading squads captured national championships Saturday ( Jan. 15 ) at the College National Cheerleading Championships.
The Universal Cheerleaders Association-sponsored event was held at the Walt Disney’s Wide World of Sports in Orlando, Fla.
With the win, MSU’s coed squad captured its 20th overall championship while it was the all-girl squad’s eighth national title.
The four-person team of Mallory Mingus, Ashley Benjamin, Krista Sanders and Izzy Glinski won the 2011 UCA All-Girl Group National Championship Friday. It was the first all-girl group stunt national championship for MSU.
The three titles increased Morehead State’s total to 29 national championships.
The teams are coached by Bill Mayo.
"I have never been more proud to be part of such a famed program," said Mayo. "We had the most difficult routines in our divisions and we did things that no team has ever done before. Our sunts and pyramids were revolutionary and our attitude was perfect, we came to win and that's just what we did. Morehead State owns Orlando in the month of January and I am so proud we kept the tradition."
