Cheer team fifth bid to Nationals story 2025

GREENVILLE, Pa.-- Thiel College’s cheer squad earned its fifth straight berth to the National Cheerleaders Association College Nationals on Aug. 13, securing a silver bid at NCA Camp at Gannon University.

The bid qualifies the Tomcats for the 2026 NCA College Nationals in Daytona Beach, Florida, in spring 2026.

“I am beyond proud of our athletes for their hard work, focus and competitive spirit,” coach Randall Burnett said. “This achievement is a testament to their dedication and the growth of our program.”

The Tomcats will pursue their second national title in four years; they won in 2023 and have finished on the podium in each of their last four trips to NCA Nationals.
