LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida (UCFAthletics.com) - In front of another packed crowd inside the HP Field House at Disney's Wide World of Sports, the UCF cheerleading team notched its eighth-straight top-five finish at the College Cheerleading National Championships Sunday evening.
Competing as the third of 13 teams in the Division IA finals, the Knights took fourth place overall while fellow Conference USA member Memphis took the overall crown. Defending national champion Kentucky placed second, Alabama third and Ole Miss rounded out the top five.
The Knights have now placed in the top-10 of the College Cheerleading National Championships 18 times in the last 20 years under head coach Linda Gooch, including national titles in 2003 and 2007.
