After a long season of practice and preparation, the Fresno State cheer and dance team finished first place at the 2020 United Spirit Association (USA) Collegiate Championships.
The Bulldogs finished with a score of 89.51 in Anaheim, Calif., on Feb. 15-16 among 4-year colleges in Division I small co-ed show cheer. They beat Portland State, Arizona, Northern Arizona, Colorado and Southern California.
“We knew that the talent we had, and we knew the competition we were up against, which were other very talented colleges. We knew that we could get it; we could pull through,” said Emmeline Jennings, cheer coach and spirit program director at Fresno State.
