Texas Tech University<\/a>\u2019s Spirit Program<\/a> is having quite a month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Representing the United States as the U.S. National Pom Team, the Texas Tech Pom Squad<\/a> claimed gold Friday (April 24) at the 2026 International Cheer Union (ICU) World
\n Championships in Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n

\"Texas<\/p>\n

The competition featured more than 50 countries, and thousands of athletes, going
\n head-to-head for the ultimate bragging rights in various cheer and dance categories.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a cool feeling to know that you\u2019re representing Texas Tech on an international
\n stage as the U.S. national team,\u201d said Texas Tech Pom Coach Erin Alvarado<\/a>. \u201cWe always tell our students, you\u2019re representing a much bigger community than you\u2019ll
\n ever understand, and that\u2019s even more magnified when you\u2019re on an international stage.
\n People are probably now Texas Tech fans who didn\u2019t even know about Texas Tech prior
\n to this competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Texas<\/p>\n

The win comes exactly two weeks after Texas Tech\u2019s Cheer Squads<\/a> won not one, but two, national championships.<\/p>\n

It also further cements a legacy of success. The Texas Tech Pom Squad was named the
\n ICU Jazz World Champions in 2022 and has won six National Dance Alliance national
\n championships in its program history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The squad is representing the United States as the U.S. National Pom Team.
