On the other hand, Rham Gail O. Manuel, one of the Captain’s of the MSEUF Wildcats Cheer squad, saw the importance of improving the team’s partner stunt, pyramids, basket tosses, tumbling, routine flow, and overall performance after their first national competition.
“We’re not like those old versions of ourselves who struggled to perform a decent stunt, and I see each one of us as someone who is dedicated to learning new skills when it comes to cheerleading,” Manuel said.
Held at Philippine Sports Area, Pasig City, on March 24, NCC Season 17 allowed the MSEUF Wildcats Cheer Squad to realize their strength and weaknesses in cheerleading.
