From last year's 2nd runner up finish, the National University Cheer Squadron really stepped up their game this year to claim their first UAAP CDC championship. Prior to this, the NU Cheer Squadron already bagged the title in the 2013 National Cheerleading Championships (NCC).
Eight schools competed for the crown and showcased amazing stunts and extravagant themed performances. The FEU Cheering Squad opened the competition with a charged Tamaraw routine, somewhat a continuation of their 2012 theme. Then, the UP Pep Squad made the audience dance with their party routine followed by the UE Pep Squad's fiery number.
The DLSU Animo Squad wear commando with their soldier-goes-to-war theme. The NU Cheer Squadron brought with them the magic lamp with their Arabian-inspired routine while the UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe showcased an Egyptian-inspired number with a quick-change costume and pyramid props.
The last two showcases were delivered by the Ateneo Blue Babble Battalion and the Adamson Pep Squad, which did a sports-themed and a cabaret/burlesque-themed performances, respectively.
