Legends also claimed victor in men’s division of Basketball, Badminton and Dart and grabbed the same title in Chess women’s division.

heerdancing has long been an effective C medium to motivate the athletes and the audience. The audiences and athletes felt alive while seeing the cheerdancers’ awesome stunts as they, too, feel the lingering fear and excitement whenever a dancer is hurled in the air. Everyone participates – be it the cheerdancers, the athletes, or the viewers – in his or her own way. Everyone was out of breath and excited for the talents to clash once again on the dance floor. Here are the chronological details of each unit for the information of everyone.
Rise of the Legends
With the black and white motifoftheiroutfit,theCollege ofEngineeringandArchitecture (CEA)cheer-dancersstartedthe competitionshowingoffwhat they have practiced for weeks. Theyemphasizedtotheviewers how tough this competition wouldbebyhavinga“booming” start; clearly making the point that they are not there to lose this competition. Even though they placed 3rd, they gave memorable moments to the audience who watched their performance. Maybe, with a little bit more pour of their best movements to touch the taste of the judges, they will rise from their current state and be legendary in the Intramurals cheerleading competition.
Roar of the Tigers Lastyear,theOroquietaCampusWhite Tigers did not participate in the Cheerleading competition. So, you can imagine the “whoa” for some old students because they just popped-in for this year’s cheerdance. Still, the audience did not fail to praise the confidence of their cheer captain because of his energetic performance. Wearing blue jerseys for the boys and blue outfits for the girls, they had their few lifts and tosses, and more of their performances on the floor. They placed last in the competition, but they will not be discarded for attention because they sure gave their all to the audience. Maybe if the White
Tigers tried harder and became more organized and flexible, like their fearsome Bengal and Siberian counterparts, they will surely be able to catch up and be the top predator in the rank list.
Spell of the Wizards Performing the dance with magic in the air, the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) cheerdance group showed the viewers what they got. They had an organized formation with lots of daring flips and tosses, making the audiences’ stomachs drop. They wore neat outfits in: white, yellow, and green. The performance was certainly great, but they was not able to please the judges that much to place them on top. Instead, like last year’s result, they were announced as the 3rd placer inthecompetition.However,duringtheawarding ceremony last September 22, 2012, Kenneth Asuncion committee head for extra-curricular activities, announced that it was not the CAS who placed in the 3rd spot but CEA. Next year, with morepotions,spells,tricksandvialsofconfidence, their magic just might take them to the top.
Rebirth of the Phoenixes Before their performance started, all actually thought they were going to perform after Unit 7 because of some technical problems. Luckily, everyone was able to continue the way it was planned before. Wearing blue, white, and black,theCollegeofPolicyStudies,Educationand Management(CPSEM) cheerleading competitors wowed the fans with their feats and stunning flips and tosses. From fourth place last year, the Blue Phoenixes emerged as 2nd placers this year.
Rage of the Cougars “There will be no more ‘mediocre’ performances…” announced the Jasaan Campus representativeduringthecheerdancecompetition, and they impressively proved it.
