The Perennial Top 3
Since it was introduced, only three cheerleading organizations have won the cheerdance competition: UP Pep Squad, FEU Cheering Squad, and UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe. Also, since 2000, the year when Nestlé coined the cheerdance in the competition name, these squads from the three UAAP-members schools have occupied Top 3 spots in most occasions. Since that year, only five other schools have taken the runner-up award: Adamson University (2001), University of the East (2002), Ateneo de Manila University (2009), De La Salle University (2011), and National University (2012). During those instances, the runner-up award was taken at the expense of two member-schools: Far Eastern University (2001 and 2002) and University of Santo Tomas (2009, 2011 and 2012).

Famous quotes containing the words perennial and/or top:
“There is no arguing with the pretenders to a divine knowledge and to a divine mission. They are possessed with the sin of pride, they have yielded to the perennial temptation.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!””
—Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)
