University of Kentucky Cheerleading 2022

[@bernadettemchugh7334]

Ryan and her mother, Donna, have similar coaching styles. They are all about maxing difficulty. Technique and actually hitting are secondary. This used to work (especially for Dunbar, they drop everything and still win), but times are changing. These other schools are improving to where their routines are difficult and they HIT. As a coach, you should recognize what your team is capable of and use that. Ryan had the same problem at Ole Miss.

[@michaelsotelo3586]

While I agree with this to a certain extent Donna and Ryan do not have the same similar coaching styles, Donna It’s more of a softy when it comes to coaching as to Ryan she’s tougher, as a former coach and choreographer myself you can only do so much when you take a routine to nationals, mistakes will happen even some of your more tenured and experienced cheerleaders. Once you make the mat for nationals not only is it important to hit every single time, but to also go in there with a mindset of “what if”, and the fact that this happened to the center stunt, says that they were the most consistent, yet look at the mistake that happened.

[@kerricoulter7551]

Donna was my cheerleading coach at Bryan Station. That's been so long ago that her last name was Brown at the time, lol. She married and became Mrs.Martin before I graduated though.

[@coll4455]

I disagree with this Dunbar never won a championship with a routine that didn’t hit. While they where far ahead of there time and had zero competition for a few of the years that they won they again never won a championship with a routine that didn’t hit.

[@kendallbedford2523]

So this new coach really has got to find her style compared to what the original UK that most of us know. I think she will blossom eventually but that also means pulling out the black book and seeing what the previous coach did in the past.

[@Promyce_Day]

Amazing saves for the middle group I thought they were going to drop her I so sound that that happened because they were doing amazing I never watch them but for my first tie watching them they did good.

[@DriveAustra]

That was a rough showing from Kentucky. Lots of errors. Thank god they had spotters throughout the routine or most of those opening stunts would have crashed and burned.

[@kevinhsu8184]

wow. what a difference between semi and final! So surprised to see them ranking this low. Hopefully next year will be a better one.

[@molly4370]

What’s the name of the stunt at 1:32? A shoulder sit on a shoulder stand… My team does it but we call it “backpack”.

All they have to do is win and everyone will shut up! When they hit it’s gonna be good

Sad to say but since Jomo left, the program has been going downhill 😢 need new leadership?

[@dancheer]

Ryan martin is a good coach... jomo dont go to back...

[@jamieoliver9023]

I think we should give credit to the other schools who have improved their Cheerleading programs, there are a lot of talented programs out there. It also comes down to who can hit when it matters.

Damn, you'd think UK would do a lot better than this. But i always enjoy watching them, so great job anyways! go UK!

[@marieneu264]

This was sloppy! Sometimes less is more. If you don’t have the squad that can hit, then don’t force the routine.

[@noahrosenzweig5592]

I’m a dancer and mainly watch uda not uca stuff. Is it usually this terrifying to watch or was this more rough than usual?

[@dancheer]

I love the dance and im sorry for dont have more.. but i promise try to get more

[@noahrosenzweig5592]

@@dancheer there’s nothing to be sorry for I’m just genuinely curious. After that stint in the middle, then the struggle on the left, then the end on the right I was genuinely afraid the entire time watching this. Is that normal for this level of competitive cheer?

It's okay Kentucky, there's still next year. I'm happy for other teams though ☺️

Any rules change!? Why there are 18 people on the field?????

The next year 20

[@Lufthansa631]

Yes, UCA did change the rules. Traditionally, division 1A was a maximum of 16. This year is 18.

UCA College Cheerleading Nationals has always been the standard but NCA College Championships make this competition look like a high school show. NCA College Champions Navarro College or runner-up Trinity Valley Community College would wipe out all these D1 squads. Times have changed...

[@faiththomas1749]

Pepsi , respectfully NCA doesn’t have a cheer section in the middle of their routine NCA college nationals ( more representative of all star cheer ) NCA scoring ( 2 days ) : Day 1 : cheer (30 seconds)+ jumps + tumbling +stunts+choreography + pyramids NCA day 2: all of the above EXCEPT THE CHEER ( only thing that carries over ) and deductions UCA : college nationals (2 days ) Day 1: Stunts + choreography + tumbling ( standing and running ) + jumps + cheer = raw score Day 2 : all of the above - deductions = final score

[@kendallbedford2523]

​@@faiththomas1749 I agree which is why I prefer UCA OR USA. It seems like a big tumbling show now for NCA and frankly I love the stunting and the actual spirit section.

[@mikeyd946]

Huh thats just sad

That was really shaky, but they are still just amazing. Who won this year?
