"It was time consuming and frustrating Ixit overall, it was fun," said Bell. On the day of competition, the squad was t>eing judged on appearance, poise, enthusiasm, the presentation of the dance routine, and the presentation of the Duke and Raveen cheer. Well, after all that hard work and dedication, the WSSU cheerleaders placed second in the competition. Virginia State University Varsity Cheerleaders placed first in the competition.
