The De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) Pep Squad finished 5th overall, tying with the San Beda University (SBU) Red Corps, in the NCAA Season 99 Cheerleading Competition on June 19 at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.

 

The Benilde Blazers Pep Squad was the grand finale as they performed last in the final event of NCAA Season 99. The Taft squad delivered an energetic routine that showcased their school pride. Despite a few errors in their coordination and formations, their impressive flips and human pyramids made it an act worth waiting for.  

 

Meanwhile, the Arellano University (AU) Chiefsquad brought the house down with their electrifying police-themed performance that showcased exceptional choreography and stunts to solidify their five-peat victory. The podium was a complete duplicate of last season’s result with the University of Perpetual Help System-Dalta (UPHSD) Altas Perpsquad and the Colegio De San Juan De Letran (CSJL) Cheering Squad capturing the silver and bronze medal, respectively.
