Texas Southern’s cheerleading team made history last Friday as the first Historically Black College and University (HBCU) to win a national title at the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA).
The Tigers took first in both the prelims and finals of the Spirit Rally Division I, beating out Niagara University, Texas A&M Commerce and University of Maine-Orono. The co-ed team bested their prelim raw score of 94.3 with a 96.1 in the finals.
This record-breaking victory comes less than a year after Texas Southern secured multiple awards at NCA camp, including a Gold bid, All-American honors for mascot Tex the Tiger, second place in overall game day and named most spirited.

I’m so proud of them and where we’re going to take the cheer program next.”
