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:
“In old persons, when thus fully expressed, we often observe a fair, plump, perennial waxen complexion, which indicates that all the ferment of earlier days has subsided into serenity of thought and behavior.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All of the valuable qualities ... like helping in the development of others—will not get you to the top at General Motors, were that path open to women.... The characteristics most highly developed in women and perhaps most essential to human beings are the very characteristics that are specifically dysfunctional for success in the world as it is.... They may, however, be the important ones for making the world different.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
