The Transylvania cheer team set a new program record total score with a 91.25 in their fifth-straight appearance at the 2019 National Cheerleaders Association Collegiate National Championships this past weekend Daytona Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pioneers entered the 2019 championship on Thursday and Friday in the Intermediate All-Girl Division III category at the Daytona Beach Band Shell amphitheater with nearly a year’s worth of preparation and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided by 14th-year head coach Tora Carter and assistant coach Ben Head, the Pioneers began their performance at the Band Shell with a preliminary competition consisting of a 45-second gameday chant that transitioned into a collection of stunts, pyramids, tosses and tumbling skills. Transylvania completed its preliminary round with a score of 88.98 to take 10th<\/sup> place after the preliminary session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pioneers aimed to improve upon their Thursday preliminary standing with another performance coming in the finals on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heading into finals, team captains Madi Banta<\/a> and Emily Jackson<\/a> aspired to lift their team to a higher level and make adjustments in order to minimize deductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Cheerleading is different from other sports in that we work year round for these two performances that determine the outcome of our season,” said Banta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, the cheer team improved upon their preliminary performance, moving up two places in the final rank and three points overall to achieve a final score of 91.25. This showing lifted Transylvania to not only an eighth-place finish in their division nationally but also the highest score in program history in that classification.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson shared her enthusiasm with her team’s strong finish to the weekend: “Honestly, we really gave it our all,” reflected Jackson. “Thursday wasn’t our best, but we made up for it in our final performance.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Transylvania cheer team looks back on this past week, they are now more motivated than ever to improve for the 2019-20 season. “I’m incredibly proud of our program and of how hard this team has worked all season, and I can’t wait to get started for Nationals 2020,” added Banta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
