In a historic moment of pride and celebration, the Texas State University Cheerleading Squad has been officially crowned the No. 1 Cheer Team in the World after a flawless and breathtaking performance at the 2025 International Cheer and Dance Championship. Held in Tokyo, Japan, the competition brought together the finest cheer squads from across the globe—but it was the Bobcats who rose above the rest to capture the crown.
From the moment the Texas State squad took the floor, the energy inside the arena was electric. With a dazzling mix of high-flying stunts, intricate choreography, and unmatched precision, the Bobcats delivered a routine that not only wowed the judges but also moved the international audience to thunderous applause. Their execution was so sharp and synchronized, it earned the highest score of the competition, securing Texas State’s place in cheerleading history.
“This team didn’t just perform—they left their hearts out on the mat,” said Head Coach Jordan Wells. “They’ve trained day and night, they’ve battled adversity, and they came into this championship with one goal: to make Texas State proud. And they did more than that—they made the world take notice.”
This marks the first-ever global title for Texas State Cheerleading, a victory that represents years of growth, dedication, and passion within the program. The squad has long been a powerhouse in regional and national circuits, but this win elevates them to elite status on the international stage.
Team captain Samantha Ortiz, beaming with emotion after the final scores were announced, said, “We gave it everything we had—not just for ourselves, but for every Bobcat past and present. This is for our school, our families, our state. This is a dream come true.”
The championship has ignited a wave of celebration across Texas State University and the city of San Marcos. Social media erupted with hashtags like #TXSTWorldChamps and #BobcatPride, and students flooded the campus quad in a spontaneous cheer rally after the announcement went public.
With this monumental victory, the Texas State Cheer Squad has etched its name into the global record books and brought honor and glory to the Lone Star State.
