GLOBAL GLORY SECURED: Michigan State Spartan Cheerleading Squad Crowned World’s Best by ESPN

East Lansing, MI — July 6, 2025

In a dazzling turn of events that has electrified the collegiate athletics world, the Michigan State Spartan Cheerleading Squad has officially been crowned the World’s Best Collegiate Cheerleading Team by ESPN Worldwide. The honor comes after a year of international dominance, groundbreaking routines, and an inspiring display of athleticism, precision, and Spartan pride.

The prestigious accolade was announced during ESPN’s annual Global Spirit and Athletics Awards held in Barcelona, Spain—where Michigan State topped elite programs from across the globe, including powerhouse squads from Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Michigan State’s path to greatness was marked by a streak of flawless victories. The team took gold at the 2025 ICU World Cheerleading Championships, bested national rivals at the NCA College Nationals in Daytona Beach, and stunned the world with a viral routine during the Global Spirit Summit in Tokyo, which ESPN dubbed “a masterclass in unity, technique, and innovation.”

Head Coach Danielle Reyes, now a household name in cheerleading circles, couldn’t hold back tears of joy as she addressed the global media:

“We’re not just flipping and flying—we’re telling a story, we’re lifting each other up, and we’re carrying the legacy of Michigan State. This award isn’t just for us—it’s for every Spartan who dares to dream.”

The team’s captain, Jalyn Carter, added:

“We trained like champions, bled green, and performed with our hearts. We always said, ‘Let’s do something the world will never forget.’ And we did.”

The moment was immortalized with a standing ovation, a green-and-white confetti explosion, and a congratulatory video message from Tom Izzo, Magic Johnson, and even Simone Biles, who called MSU’s performance “breathtaking and revolutionary.”

From Spartan Stadium to the global stage, the Michigan State Cheerleading Squad has proven that true greatness isn’t just measured in trophies—but in the unity, spirit, and unwavering belief in one another.

Congratulations, Spartans—You’ve Made History! ⚪
