At the 36th All-Japan Student Cheerleading Championships held at Takasaki Arena (Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture) on Saturday, December 21st and Sunday, December 22nd, 2024, Teikyo University Cheerleading Club BUFFALOS won the overall championship, achieving their seventh victory in three consecutive years.
Six teams from BUFFALOS participated in this two-day tournament to decide the best university in Japan, including an exhibition, in five divisions, winning the Division 1 freestyle competition, placing second and third in the Division 2 freestyle competition, and winning the Cheerleading Spirits competition, achieving the overall victory. Our school's final performance in the tournament was greeted with high expectations from the audience even before the performance, and it was a wonderful 2-minute 30-second performance that was flawless and inspired the audience. Furthermore, this season they have won three tournaments, the Kanto Championship, the JAPANCUP, and the All Japan Championship, achieving their second triple crown in a season in two years.
Although the fourth-year students will be retiring after this tournament, they will use what they have learned in Cheerleading Club to move on to a new stage. Please continue to support the Teikyo University Cheerleading Club BUFFALOS as they continue to improve their skills.
