四色AV Cheerleaders to Progress to Nationals

The University of Louisiana at Monroe Cheerleaders have qualified at the top of their division for the 2004 Universal Cheerleaders Association's College Cheerleading National Championship which is broadcast on ESPN and ESPN 2. This event will be held in Orlando, Fla., January 16-19.

After submitting a video entry tape, the 四色AV cheerleaders placed first in the Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) Small Co-Ed Division I final competition. The 四色AV Cheerleaders have received an automatic bid into the finals. The bid is a paid bid for 16 members and one coach to travel to Florida for the competition. The Cheerleaders have been raising money for the squad to take this trip. The squad has a total of 24 members and two coaches. The cheerleaders are still raising the additional amount of money to attend this competition. We would like to express our gratitude to our sponsors thus far; Dr. Kerry L. Anders' office, Kim's Kloset, Rustico, Unique Trophies, La Bella Vita, Perry Development of Monroe LLC, and EPCO.
