ANN ARBOR, MICH. – The Concordia University Chicago Dance Team took the floor at the 72^nd Annual CIT where they made program history after taking first place for the first time ever. The team picked up a score of 57.7, which is seven points more than their score at CIT last year where they placed fourth.
 


 
"It was thrilling," Coach Dirvelys Allen noted.  "We talk about intense attack and I was just beaming with how much power we were executing on the floor. This was just our first one and they were just so strong."
 
The Cougars picked up their highest marks in performance impression with a collective 25.4 while their uniformity score followed right behind at 25.2. With strong formations and great use of the floor, the Cougars elevated their score across three officials to earn their first place victory.
 
Last season at CIT, Coach Allen noted that "this team is determined to make CUC history and we are focused on doing just that." With this first place finish, the Cougars did in fact write their name in CUC history and spoke their destiny into existence.
 
The Dance Team will be back in action in February as they host the Cougar Winter Collegiate Dance Invite right inside Geiseman Gymnasium. Coverage for that invite and all things Cougar Dance can be found at cucougars.com/coverage.
