CONGRATULATIONS! Adamson University Pep Squad won their first UAAP cheerdance crown.

Adamson finally took home their first CDC title and joined the club of squads who have won the championship from the 23-year-old competition. Previous winners include the Far Eastern University (FEU) Cheering Squad, University of Santo Tomas (UST) Salinggawi Dance Troupe, University of the Philippines (UP) Pep Squad and National University (NU) Pep Squad.

Adamson continued their climb atop the leaderboard after a pleasant surprise of a third-place finish a year ago. That put an end to their 15-year absence on the podium.
