FAR Eastern University Cheering Squad hopes its intact core can pull off a perfect run to book a trip back to the top three in the UAAP Cheerdance Competition.
After failing to have a podium finish for two straight years, FEU Cheering Squad skipper Carla Perez is confident they have put in the work and have the right chemistry to break the dry spell on Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum.
"Noong una naming ginawa 'yung run is madami pong struggles, lalo na hindi nagawa ng maayos ang mga skills," Perez shared to SPIN.ph. "Pero inuulit lang po namin everyday hanggang sa magamay namin 'yung skills na ipe-perform namin sa competition."
A day before the much awaited UAAP CDC, the team captain has only one reminder to her teammates.
"As a captain of FEUCS, 'yung sinasabi ko lang po is 'kaya natin 'to' kasi lahat kami magkakilala na since last year kami pa rin po ang mga members, so alam na namin ang isa't isa," she said.
"Tapos palagi ko lang sinasabi na magtiwala sa isa't isa, focus, sundin 'yung mga sinasabi at tinuturo ng mga coaches. Ginagawa ko din ng best ko para maging united 'yung team," she added.
FEU hopes to top their fourth place finish in last year's competition with 583.5 points, just half a point ahead of fifth placer University of the East.
The cheerdancers from Morayta performed a magic-inspired routine and ended the six-minute number with a magic trick.
