2009 UK Cheerleading National Championship

[stephanienagle1]

They were supposed to expo this at a gym I live by but someone got hurt the night before. If they reworked the routine and it still looks like this that's impressive. However, I don't like the beginning... it doesn't have the same feeling as the rest. It's just slower. But definitely proud to say I'm from Kentucky having this team here (:



[CaraGraci]

anyone know what place they got?

[BlueUKLouis]

@CaraGraci First.

[MsFluffernutterable]

omfg those stunts are actually INSANE... this is why the sport needs more guys!!

[natashaimran]

who's blair

[elliesophliz]

amazing stunts! but I don't like the whole joggy thing. It's kinda strange...

[barfpuke18]

@elliesophliz Haha. That's the cheer walk. They've been doing that foreverrrrrrrr lol.

[Cheerleading597]

and why do you think many cheerleaders wear uk shirts? because they are so dang good.

[missmarissahh]

This routine gives me chills! <3



[missmarissahh]

This routine gives me chills! <3

[Srpingoloide]

[011azr]

amazing!

[mianicholson50]

wow wen im older wanna b like dat good

[LakinDenae19]

UK has the best everything!

[girlygirl5212]

this routine is very is very similiar to the team usa coed teams cheer and the uca demo cheer... hmmmm

[raclip02]

@girlygirl5212 That's because this is the standard of what a cheer routine should look like.

[NikkiOdette]

They weren't even that good..I like Alabama better

[MonkeyDemoe]

Everybody better be studying for finals right now, yo. lol

[MonkeyDemoe]

UK for life man, that's my school, yo!

[jumpjumpltd]

UK's getting better - I wonder if they trained using inflatable tumble tracks?

[redegel1985]

@jumpjumpltd hahaha I know right! I think what it is is that all the girls are like very short and very tiny and the guys are really tall and bulky that they're able to perform those difficult stunts flawlessly

[raclip02]

@redegel1985 Ladt time I checked from cheering in college, all of the co-ed girls are small and tiny like you described. It's fair game, pal.

[redegel1985]

@raclip02 hey buddy, not all the girls are small and tiny like UK pal! I've seen co-ed squads where the girls are just as tall as the guys like 5'7-5'9 and prob weight more than 120 lbs. For the UK squad, however, the females are generally under 5'5 and weight less than 120lbs for safety reasons and not all squads follow those guidelines, only UK cuz they rock pal!!

[raclip02]

@redegel1985 That's not true. Look at all the girls in D1A at UCA Collegeiate Nationals. They're all tiny.

[kentky95]

Kentucky cheerleading is the biggest dynasty is sports.

[MonsterNeonCookies]

That is the BEST stunting I have ever seen in my life!!:D

[madmum23]

WOW! That was,without a doubt AWESOME!!!!!!!!! you should all be proud!!!

[cdmcw]

their routines are amazing! my mom used to cheer for uk and i love my CATS!!!

[raclip02]

@wallofwax Well, there are not many movements in this routine, nor many motions.

[CurtandBurt]

after they did the "go cats" and then they all like basket tossed, it gave me chills.

that was amazing.

[raclip02]

@wallofwax Where is the sloppiness? And do High Schools even throw this level of difficulty on the mat? Seriously, if any other college dared to put this routine on a nationals mat, it wouldn't look anywhere as clean as this.

[thebobcatgirl]

I don't like it when they do a high leg lift jog, it doesn't look right in cheerleading.

[emmabird27]

OMG!!! Amazing!!! I love this team!!!

[JagoReedJones]

Damn I thought this was United Kingdom.

[tipper50]

so proud to be a wildcat!

[307mezly]

wow u guys r amazing woah alsome cheering

[chicnamedemily2003]

[LabelloTusse]

[Apariso]

[NataliezLikeWhoa]

[HailToTheSkunk]

@NataliezLikeWhoa lol i thought it was United Kingdom too, wish we had these at college here

[FearAnnihilator]

University of Kentucky cheerleaders, not uk dude, nore uk cheerleading team

[emilyyybabyyy317]

Totally AMAZING!

:D

[baa233]

cant wait to see what they come up with this weekend!!!

[ecdcheerleader247]

This is why I want to go to college there.

[proudtobeBOBCATS]

i hope i was like there flyers,....there really really awesome,....

[windertumble]

If I could have my pick of any school to go to, I would definately go to Kentucky. They are beast!

[ahkumoreason]

and you call this a cookie cutter routine? I don't think so

[ahkumoreason]

I would be shocked if they DO come up with something different, but people keep talking about Louisville and Hawai'i, WHAT ABOUT ARIZONA AND Stephen F. Austin, Oh yes you should check them out, out of a possible 11(perfect score) they scores a 9.1 and still won the '08 nationals

[ahkumoreason]

OH! OH!! Did they just do what I think they just did! Oh yes the di'id! THAT WAS AMAZING

[raclip02]

UK only gets better and better every single damn year.

[Ortonsgirl99]

@raclip02 Coulldve said it any better !!

[artsylovelylady]

If you want to base this on creativity, Bangkok wins. But if you want to base this on the total package: execution, difficulty and wow factor, UK wins every time.

[holdmydrinkbitch]

...But there boring.

[kevb1680]

If you think that's boring, you must not know anything about cheerleading!

[MNCheer]

They're*.

And no they're not boring.

[holdmydrinkbitch]

I swear this team is a fucking snooze fest. Every year people ooh and ahh over the same "Cookie Cutter" Performance.

The execution is flawless but they have no inovation over the years 20. Insert 2-2-1 here, tumble here, Heal Stretch, Cats, Cats, Cats!, and run off. I dont even have to watch them. They have no soul. They are so glazed and cheezy. This just shows how far Cheerleading has come from its roots.

And on the sideline, They are nothing special.

[SuperTL1985]

@holdmydrinkbitch

Seriously...if you think they're that boring, why don't you stop spending so much time watching and commenting on their performances?

[raclip02]

@holdmydrinkbitch How is Kentucky non-innovative when they're the ones who came up with the 2-2-1 pyramids, 1-1-1 pyramids and re-invented the fatback this past 2010 UCA Championship?

[MNCheer]

They aren't going to win nationals this year! My money is on UCF of Alabama (I hope Bama gets it).

[artsylovelylady]

Get ready to lose some money.

[MNCheer]

For the entry tape ranks they are placed second (tied with Bama).

[kevb1680]

WRONG! UK wins AGAIN! 18 National Championships now! Way to go CATS!

[MNCheer]

Yep! They were awesome! Check my site, I have their full routine!

[natalinabee]

woaaah impressed!

[emiliouvg]

probably the cleanest routine my eyes have ever seen! i heart UK!

[thomasoeler]

Kentucky cheerleading is just the best !!!

[artsylovelylady]

by a mile.

[jangeks]

what team won the competition?

[UKtoken]

Kentucky first, alabama second, central florida third

[ReikaKuze99]

Hey! Its Pickle from the band!! I loved getting to see your routine t Big Blue Madness. LOVE IT. Best squad ever.

[UKtoken]

It's called the Kentucky run, its our style.

Worked pretty well for us so far ;)

[proudtobeBOBCATS]

[OxAuroOrithaxO]

Amazing! the Best Of The wOrld!

[Kelster711]

Go Big Blue! That was great. :)

[chelsbea]

OMG thts well gd!!!!!!!

[LuckyStarParody]

o.o wow

[theGRANDEfinale]

WOW. Standing tumbling is difficult enough and this team opens the routine with full-squad fulls. That's pretty sick.

[SparklersElite08]

is there usa teams in the uk championships??

[bridgetchang]

UK stands for University of Kentucky not United Kingdom and this is a US competition judging collegiate cheerleading. So colleges around the US.

[traceynorthernstar]

No its not UK as in United Kingdom, it's UK as in University of Kentucky...!

[2312Karlie]

uhh this is the university of kentucky (in the usa)

[CheerChickKatie]

Kentucky is absolutly amazing.

They are always perfect(:

I love them.

Go Big Blue(:

[2312Karlie]

omg yes i love em too! thats where iam going to college! Go Big Blue :]

[cheercoachmark]

Wow... jamfestmadness is a perfect screenname for you. You are CRAZY.

[cali1922guy]

So what? USA is better at partner stunts and basket tosses than any other country. Japan has the cleanest routine in the world. Who gives a damn? That doesn't make USA or Japan any better than each other. They are both good in different ways. GO JAPAN BRAVES and UK!!

[jessiemk222]

although I do agree that the Braves is clean, you have to be realistic to see that the UK is clean AND got skills about 1000times than the Braves. Braves' partner stunts are all supported, intermediate level. Their tumbling is intermd, their pyramids are great but, doesn't show strength (ie: they can't do full up 2-1-1, they have to rely on strengths of 2 or 3 people). I think you're right, they are great but those people who commented on brave's page that said they are better than UK are wrong.

[Shakira00]

I like Braves of Japan also but personally I would have to disagree and say that UK has the cleanest routine even cleaner then Japan. I also think that in general when it comes to Coed stunting UK is much more advanced. However one thing I will definatly give Japan is that they have some really flashy and more modernized routines.

But they are still a great squad.

[websmasher22]

WOW!!!

jaw-breaking!!!

[ChristinCP]

They are still one of the most clean squads out there.

[ayrik]

cátedras de buena técnica :)

you are really amazing!!

a very clean routine so awesome

:)

[rAj0hn23cHing]

is ryan martin......

a part of your team.....

she's from lexinton....

wow that was so awesome

[catfan06]

She is on the white squad, this is the blue squad.

[hamptonunitedmethodi]

Well does the blue squad perform also in competitions as well as games? So it's like two varsity teams?

[hamptonunitedmethodi]

i meant the white squad.

[catfan06]

The white squad is like the jv squad. They do home football games, womens basketball, volleyball and gymnastics meets. They sometimes compete at USA nationals they won last year and the year before but they didnt compete this year.

[jculb]

who's saying 'go blair'?

how do y'all know him?

[essence1189]

yeah my friend is on this team so it's not all star. get your facts straight

[beckkssx]

What was their actual score? Anybody know?

[pageja1]

17 times in the last 24 years, and only squad to win, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 times in a row. They are just college students.

[bird0weird0]

awesome

[becky123becky123]

Wow brilliant stunts! Really, really impressive :)

[TonyJames25]

Collegiate all-star squad....show me a team that doesnt hire their talent and I will be impressed

[winniedapoohxoxo]

they don't they try out just like any other team

[lcway335]

there was actually a reality show that showed the try out process they do not hire.

[footface37]

the UNIVERSITY of KENTUCKY...they have tryouts..its a school...not allstars..seriously, the fact that you dont know who they are is insulting to the sport of cheerleading..

[cheergirl1216]

Its not even a fricken all star team! Its University of Kentucky! A school! Where they have tryouts and dont earn anything but scolarships sometimes!

[JENSDART]

Great Job ! Did they win?

[winniedapoohxoxo]

yeah they win like all the time
