The UPEI Panthers Cheer Team ended their season on a high note, becoming national champions for the third consecutive year after competing at the Collegiate Median National Championship division of the CheerExpo National Cheerleading Championship 2024. The event took place from April 5 to 7 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

After trailing just behind the University of New Brunswick all season, the Panthers pulled ahead at the last second where it really counted to claim the national title. 

"There are no words to truly express how proud we are of our team after this weekend. They have worked very hard to improve all season, and it paid off," said coach Baily MacLeod. "We are extremely proud of the hard work and dedication of this year's team to claim a national title for the third year in a row. This win is a result of pure hard work, determination, and drive."

Congratulations, team!
