Purdue University has a long history of success across a gambit of sports and activities, and the school’s cheerleading team now will get its chance in the spotlight while competing in the 2025 UCA/UDA College Cheerleading & Dance Team National Championship.

The Boilermakers have made regular appearances among the top 10 teams at the competition and picked up their lone national title in 2018. Can they get back to the mountaintop in 2025?

This year’s event will take place Jan. 17-19 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida.

This competition is the culmination of a year of hard work and is the most prestigious event on the collegiate cheer and dance schedule. 

The Purdue spirit program includes a traditional coed team with female flyers and male stunters, and the roster usually approaches 30 student-athletes. 

There’s also an all-girl team within the program, comprised of 28-36 students, broken into four smaller groups. 

Together, the two squads serve as university ambassadors, cheerleaders at sporting events and community activities, and as annual participants at UCA College Nationals. 

After back-to-back runner-up finishes in the Division IA Small Coed Cheer competition at UCA College Nationals in 2016 and 2017, the Boilermakers finally broke through in 2018 for their lone national championship. It came in the same category.

In 2024, Purdue finished fifth in the Small Coed standings, 10th in Division IA All Girl Cheer and 20th in the All Girl Game Day Cheer event, not making the 12-team finals.
