While UCA College Nationals was happening at Disney World on January 17, many cheer teams from all over the world were also there to compete in the World University Cheerleading Championship. While several American teams took home titles in their divisions, teams from Australia and Canada also put on a strong showing. Monash University from Australia took home a World Champion title in the Elite Small Coed division, and La Trobe University brought a third place trophy in the Premier Small Coed division back to Australia as well. Canada’s University of Regina took home a World Champion win in the Premier Super Coed division, and Canadian teams placed 4th and 5th in the Premier All Girl division, just narrowly beat out by American teams that dominated the top three placements. The biggest division of the competition, Premier Large Coed, also had some of the biggest names competing for the World Champion trophy. Local fan favorite University of Central Florida went head to head against major universities like the University of Iowa, University of Mississippi, and University of Cincinnati, however it was Iowa Western Community College that came away with the win, beating out 11 other teams from the US, Puerto Rico and Costa Rica.
