MEMPHIS, Tenn. – For the first time since 2008, both the University of Memphis' cheerleading and dance teams captured national championships at the same UCA & UDA College Nationals.

The Memphis cheerleaders won the national championship in Division IA Small Coed, and the dance team won the national championship for Division IA Hip Hop for the first time since 2012. The competition was held this week at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla.

"Both cheer and dance teams were nothing short of amazing this week," Memphis Head of Spirit and Dance Carol Lloyd Cross said.
