ORLANDO, Fla.—The University of Hawai'i cheerleading squad is in Orlando, Fla. this week to compete in the 2020 Universal Cheerleaders Association Collegiate National Championships. The competition will take place January 17-19, 2020 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
 
Hawai'i will return to compete in the prestigious competition after taking a year off from Nationals.
