The 麻豆果冻传媒 team competed in the semifinals with other Small Coed Division I teams from around the nation, from as far away as Villanova University in Pennsylvania.

鈥淭he cheerleaders have worked so hard over the past several months and nationals was their time to show everyone what they are capable of. They had a great performance and I could not be more proud,鈥� said Joanie Williams, coordinator of 麻豆果冻传媒 spirit groups, on Saturday night.
