Eastern Oklahoma State College cheerleaders pose with their first national championship trophy they recently captured during the National Cheerleader Association National Championship in Daytona Beach, Fla. The competition is an open event where two-year schools are competing in the same category as major universities. EOSC and Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College were the only community colleges to advance from preliminary rounds to the final competition. Virginia Commonwealth University, with an enrollment of near 27,000, placed second behind the squad from EOSC with the United States Military Academy at West Point (enrollment 4,000) placing third. There are more than 4,000 NCAA teams in the United States and EOSC is generally considered to be one of the top 100 programs in the nation. More than 200 teams are selected to the finals in Daytona each year.
