The return to NCA/NDA Nationals in Daytona Beach marked another significant chapter for OLLU Dance and Cheer, a program that has established itself as a consistent presence among the nation’s top collegiate teams. Competing in an event that brought together over 1,500 teams, 75,000 athletes, and representation from 45 states across three days, the level of competition remained exceptionally high, demanding precision, consistency, and composure at every stage.
Following a national championship the previous year, OLLU Cheer entered the NAIA Game Day division with a clear understanding of the expectations associated with their program. Their performance reflected strong dedication, effective crowd-leading ability, and a disciplined approach throughout. Earning a score of 80.0875, they secured a second-place finish behind Texas Wesleyan. The result highlights both the competitive nature of the division and OLLU’s continued position among its top programs.
OLLU Dance also demonstrated a solid performance at the national level, finishing 7th overall with a score of 73.95 in the NAIA Team Performance Division. In a field characterized by technical difficulty and creative choreography, the team maintained a high standard of execution and synchronization. Their placement reflects both the depth of talent within the division and the program’s ongoing commitment to growth and refinement.
Overall, OLLU Dance and Cheer once again performed at a level consistent with a nationally competitive program. Their results at Daytona reinforce a strong foundation and position them well for continued success in future national competitions.
