DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The Cougarettes, BYU's precision dance team, swept the 2005 Chick-Fil-A National Cheer and Dance Team Championships here on April 8, winning first place, grand championship and best choreography honors in their division.
Some 250 cheer and dance teams competed in the event, with the BYU squad going up against 25 teams in their division, all of which had to qualify for the championships, according to the Cougarettes artistic director, Jodi Maxfield.
"We beat out three-time defending champions the University of Louisville soundly, with the highest score of the day, a 9.55 compared to Louisville's 9.40," said Sister Maxfield.
