Spirit Championships

Tennessee also has claimed 12 UCA/UDA national championships, each listed below. In addition to winning national titles in both mascot and dance in 2007, the cheer squad was the national runner-up that year, making Tennessee the first school ever to produce two national championships and a runner-up in the same year. Tennessee cheer captured its first national title in 2020. That championship was especially significant because it made Tennessee the first UCA/UDA Division 1A school in the country to claim at least one national championship in every main spirit category—cheer, dance and mascot.
