From Philadelphia to Disney World, 22 elementary school cheerleaders are making history.

The Smedley Bulldog Blitz cheerleaders are set to make history as the first inner-city public school to compete at the 2026 UCA Nationals in Florida.

After winning regional competitions, the girls are proving they have what it takes to win.

“We are the first public elementary school out of Philadelphia to go,” coach Ana Rosario said.

The team is made up of 22 girls ranging in age from 6 to 12 years old. They put in countless hours of practice.
