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:
“Today, supremely, it behooves us to remember that a nation shall be saved by the power that sleeps in its own bosom; or by none; shall be renewed in hope, in confidence, in strength by waters welling up from its own sweet, perennial springs. Not from above; not by patronage of its aristocrats. The flower does not bear the root, but the root the flower.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Life stood on the top stair a moment
Waved her last gray slander down the stair,
I will not forget her absent eyes
Her other smile like one rose
Falling, falling everywhere....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
