MANILA (UPDATED) — Far Eastern University has successfully reclaimed the UAAP Cheerdance Crown.

The FEU Cheering Squad topped the Season 86 edition of the competition, Saturday afternoon at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

The Tamaraws tallied 702.5 points to bag their fourth UAAP Cheerdance title. They last ruled the contest in Season 84.

They performed a routine which was inspired by Super Mario Bros in front of 18,122 fans, and team head coach Randell San Gregorio bared that the famous video game was the most suitable choice for their championship-winning routine.

“Wala na yatang mas gaganda na tema na video game kesa Super Mario. We're really so happy,” he said after their win.

“Honestly, hindi ito yung goal namin eh,” he revealed. “Goal lang talaga namin, makabuo, to give justice to Super Mario. Kasi hindi namin na-give justice si Francis M. Medyo hindi naging maganda ang performance namin [last year], he added, pertaining to their second-place finish in Season 85.
