I doubt anyone could resist the pretty Oregon Cheerleader squad. It was just dumb luck I stumbled on them while browsing instagram.
Here are some fun facts about them:
The University of Oregon cheer squad is a massive 42-member powerhouse split into 14 dynamic dancers and 14 co-ed stunt couples.
Known as the “Ambassadors of the University”, they travel to all away football games, bowl games, and postseason NCAA events alongside the beloved Oregon Duck mascot.
Pioneering History: The University of Oregon played a massive role in cheerleading history, being credited as one of the first programs to use flashcards to direct crowd participation during the 1920s.
No Days Off for the Duck: The cheer team often performs alongside "The Oregon Duck," who has become one of the most famous, athletic, and viral mascots in college sports.
Intense Tryouts: Making the squad is highly competitive.
Tryouts feature a grueling three-day process where hopefuls are rigorously evaluated on intricate choreography, stamina, and advanced stunting.
High-Octane Energy: The cheerleaders perform at Autzen Stadium—famous for being one of the loudest venues in college football—and Matthew Knight Arena for basketball and volleyball games.
Professional Pipeline: Many of the program’s top dancers and stunters graduate to join professional cheer and dance teams across the sports world.
The University of Oregon Cheer and Dance program recently wrapped up their tryouts in April, introducing their official 2026–27 squad. They act primarily as a high-energy spirit and sideline squad, and members balance demanding collegiate schedules with cheering at premier athletic events like Oregon football, volleyball, and basketball.
The program features several key branches:Co-Ed Stunt Team: Dynamic athletes who support the football team at Autzen Stadium and perform at postseason NCAA games, including CFP appearances.
Dance Team: High-impact dancers who perform jazz and hip-hop at games and events alongside the beloved Oregon Duck mascot.
Community Engagement: They frequently host clinics, participate in local parades, and run annual fundraisers to help operate the spirit program.
The Super Hot wishes them the best season, ever!
