The Central Michigan cheer team finished seventh in the Division I Small Co-Ed United Cheerleaders Association College Nationals in Orlando, Florida this weekend.

Teams are placed in the same division as their football program, which is why CMU's cheerleading team competes against Division I opponents.

The Chippewas had to receive a score higher than 80 during the semifinals in order to reach the finals. CMU scored a 79.5 in finals.
