Boise State Cheerleaders Win National Competition

The Boise State University cheerleaders are national champions.

The squad of 18 women and three men took first place in the Small Coed Division of the USA College Cheerleading Nationals yesterday in Las Vegas.

It was the Boise State cheerleading squad’s first national title after finishing second in 2007 and fourth in 2006 and 2005. The Broncos also finished eighth in 2003, the first year they competed in the college nationals.

The 2008 team entered the competition’s final round with the highest composite score in its division, the equivalent of earning a first seed in an athletic tournament.

The team members along with head coach Julie Stevens and assistant coach Jonathan Wood will be recognized at the Nevada-Boise State men’s basketball game this Thursday evening in Taco Bell Arena and display their national championship trophy and banner during halftime activities.

Boise State University is emerging as a metropolitan research university of distinction. This transformation is being powered by the university’s first comprehensive campaign to support students, faculty, strategic initiatives, research and infrastructure. That’s why the campaign to raise $175 million in private support is called Destination Distinction.
