ORLANDO, Fla. - Five Morehead State cheerleaders helped lead the U.S. National Team All-Girl squad to a World Championship at the International Cheer Union World Cheerleading Championship at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla.
Kelsey Davis,
Madison Paige,
Priscilla Thorn,
Courtney Stack, and
Abi Fuller represented Morehead State on the 36-person U.S. National Team.
It marked the third straight World Championship for Davis.
"It's such a humbling experience to be able to represent, not only Morehead State, but also my country as a whole," said Davis. "There's no better feeling than being able to sing the National Anthem in front of thousands of spectators."
Cheerleaders from Indiana, Oklahoma State, NC State, West Georgia, Hofstra, and Louisville were also included.
Over 100 countries were represented in the championships.
In preparation of ICU Worlds, the team condensed ten months of training into ten days, a grueling mental and physical test that ultimately pulled them closer together and led to victory.
In January, Morehead State claimed national titles in partner stunt team and coed. Cheerleading holds 41 UCA titles since the program's start in 1988.
