Daytona Beach, FL - Valdosta State clinched two more national championships in Florida Friday. The Red Hots, Valdosta State’s dance team earned the team’s second national championship in as many years with a stellar performance in the finals. The co-ed cheerleading squad also brought home a national championship, the first in the team’s history.

While the Red Hots were the top seed after the preliminaries, the co-ed team had to overcome Hawaii Pacific on the team’s way to the top. After finishing with the highest score a Valdosta State cheerleading squad has ever earned Thursday, the group followed it with a national championship performance to overtake Blinn College in the finals.

The all-girls squad had to face a little bit of adversity. The music stopped in the middle of the routine so the team had to start entirely over. Valdosta State recovered to finish third nationally behind Hawaii Pacific (first) and Fairmont State (second).
