Texas Tech Red Raiders Cheerleading CROWNED #1 SQUAD ON THE PLANET by ESPN!
LUBBOCK, TEXAS — In a dazzling display of passion, precision, and unshakable pride, the Texas Tech Red Raiders Cheerleading Squad has just made history — being officially crowned the #1 cheer squad in the world by ESPN in its Global Legends Cheer Rankings for 2025.
The announcement, which sent shockwaves through the cheerleading world, solidifies the Red Raiders not just as national icons — but as global legends, dominating the floor, the air, and the hearts of millions around the planet.
> “To the spirited stars of Texas Nation — you danced with heart, soared with pride, and shined with purpose. The world cheered because you dared to be legendary,” ESPN’s statement read during the live broadcast.
Led by their fearless coaches and supported by a university fanbase unmatched in intensity, the Red Raiders delivered a flawless competition season — culminating in a performance at the World Collegiate Spirit Championship that left judges and fans stunned. With synchronized stunts, gravity-defying tumbling, and a powerful blend of athleticism and artistry, they earned perfect marks in both technical difficulty and overall performance.
> “We knew we had something special,” said squad captain Maddie Reyes, holding back tears during the award ceremony. “But to be named the best in the world? That’s beyond anything we imagined. We did this for Texas Tech, for our fans, for each other.”
The global crown is the result of years of relentless dedication. The Red Raiders cheer team has consistently pushed boundaries, often training seven days a week, perfecting routines that require both elite physical endurance and mental toughness.
Head Coach Lauren Marshall, who took over the program five years ago, credits the squad’s unity as their secret weapon.
> “This isn’t just a team — it’s a family,” Marshall said. “They lift each other in more ways than one. I’ve never seen a group so committed to excellence and to each other.”
Social media erupted with pride as fans and alumni from around the world flooded platforms with messages of congratulations. Hashtags like #RedRaidersReign, #WorldChamps, and #TechTakesTheGlobe quickly went viral.
Even Texas Tech University President Dr. Lawrence Schovanec issued an official statement:
> “Today, Texas Tech isn’t just on the map — we’re on top of the world. The cheer squad has made us all proud. They embody the Red Raider spirit: bold, fearless, and world-class.”
As the squad returns to Lubbock, they will be met with parades, celebrations, and the admiration of a university — and now a world — that watched them rise from contenders to champions.
Their legacy is now etched not just in school history, but on a global stage.
From West Texas to worldwide — the Red Raiders didn’t just cheer for victory.
They became the very definition of it.
