Bearcat Sports Page

As the school year comes to a close we look back at the year in sports on campus.   The biggest story goes to the football team for bringing the first BCS Bowl appearance to campus, but who gets credit for the biggest win?    Was a trip to the Orange Bowl the biggest accomplishment on campus?   It all depends on where you look.  Along with two Big East trophies UC also collected a national championship, and a world title.   Who…what…where… ?  Kristen Liguori has the interview with the first ever Bearcat World Champions.

We would like to thank UC Dance Team head coach Lisa Spears for allowing us to visit a practice and for being so helpful with our coverage.  These young ladies work as hard and as long as any other sports team on campus.  Congratulations on a fantastic year and good luck.  Bearcat Sports Page looks forward to picking up our coverage of this world champion team next year.

What is the most successful team in UC history?  What team has won the most national championships?  Basketball…wrong!    It’s the UC dance team.  This past year they collected their fourth national title at a competition in Orlando, Florida.   The title not only solidified their dominance in competitive dance at the collegiate level, but it got them an invitation to represent their country in world competition. Our Kristen Liguori has the story of their quest for a World title.

For those that see the team perform at basketball games may not realize the talent these girls have.  They attract incoming freshmen from around the country with their reputation in competitive dance.  We were invited to one of their practices, and once they got back from their 2 mile run they went at hard for 4 hours.  This is their routine 5 nights a week, so the next time they take the floor at half time stay in your seat was watch the best dance team in the world perform in your own back yard.
