The Loyola cheer team traveled to compete in a competition in Daytona, Florida, where they placed sixth in their division at the 2022 Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) & Universal Dance Association (UDA) College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship in January.
The university fully funds the cheer team when it comes to university events and the team performing on the sidelines at Loyola athletics events, but competition expenses aren’t included in that funding.
Head cheer coach Jackie Buhay-Castro explained that in order to compete, Loyola cheer must fundraise themselves, the program also has to fundraise to cover other extra expenses throughout its season.
