Kentucky Cheerleaders - 17 National Titles and counting!
http://www.ukathletics.com/genrel/011809aaa.html
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Dominance is the only word that is needed to describe the UK cheerleading team. For the 17th time in school history, the Kentucky Wildcats are home of the Universal Cheerleading Association National Championship trophy.
The back-to-back national champions have now claimed the national championship trophy 13 times since 1995. During that stretch, Kentucky only lost possession of the trophy in 2007 and 2003. Before 1995, Kentucky won the 1985, 1987, 1988 and 1992 national championships.
Kentucky won the competition by a margin of 14.5 points on Sunday night. Kentucky finished with a score of 473.5 out of 500 with the next closest being Alabama with 459 points and UCF with 454 points. Rounding out the top five was Memphis in fourth, and Louisiana and Kansas tied for fifth. Other Southeastern Conference schools in the top 15 were Tennessee, who tied for eight with Cincinnati, and Mississippi State and Mississippi finishing 11th and 12th, respectfully.
"This one was special for us because this year there were several really good teams here," cheerleading Coach Jomo Thompson said. "We had a great routine, but Alabama and UCF drilled their routines as well, so for us to win by 14.5 really is something special."
Thompson said that he was also excited about Alabama finishing in second place because former UK assistant David McDowell is now a coach there. Thompson said they talked about wanting to finish in the top-two spots and was pleased that it happened. McDowell was a UK cheerleader from 2001 to 2003 and took over assistant coaching honors from 2004 to 2006.
Thompson said he is most excited about bringing the trophy back to all the UK fans and great people at Kentucky.
"I am so excited that we are bringing back our 17th national championship trophy to the Bluegrass," Thompson said. "I am happy to bring this trophy back to the fans and so glad that we represent the University and everyone at Rupp Arena."

Dance Team Finishes Seventh Overall
The University of Kentucky dance team finished in a tie for seventh place this weekend at the 2009 College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championships. The National Championships were produced by the Universal Cheerleaders Association and the Universal Dance Association.
The top-10 finish is one of many for the squad at the UDA National Championships. In 2000, the team finished in fourth place at this event. Kentucky shares the seventh-place finish with Louisiana State. Tennessee took home the top honor this weekend followed by Florida State, Minnesota, Cincinnati and Wisconsin-Madison rounding out the top five. Michigan finished in sixth place with Michigan State finishing eighth, Central Florida ninth and Memphis 10th. Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers, Alabama and Mississippi finished 11th through 17th, respectfully.
Most of the dance team's success has come in the United Spirit Association College Nationals. In the USA Nationals, the Blue and White have gathered six top-four finishes since 2003. Kentucky has finished third in the last two years and second in 2006. In 2005, the squad won the national championship, finishing first in the jazz category. Before winning the national championship, the team finished in fourth place in 2004 and third place in 2003.
UK dance team head coach Cathy Coyle said the team was hoping for a top-10 finish and is proud they achieved that goal. She said the team's motto heading into the weekend was "one team, one dream, believe."
Calathes to turn pro
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/mensbasketball/sec/2009-05-23-florida-nick-calathes-pro_N.htm
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida guard Nick Calathes, an All-SEC pick last season as a sophomore, has decided to turn pro.
Florida Today has learned that Calathes, who averaged a team-leading 17.2 points per game, is negotiating a deal to play for the Greek team Panathinaikos rather than return for his junior season at UF but is still interested in the NBA. His departure leaves Erving Walker, a freshman last season, as the only scholarship point guard on the Florida roster. The Gators recruited several elite players but failed to sign any of them.
The 6-foot-5 Calathes, who is of Greek heritage and tried out unsuccessfully for that country's Olympic team last summer, has told Gators coach Billy Donovan of his decision. The school has not made any official announcement, pending a finalized agreement.
The Casselberry, Fla., native has also been working out for various NBA teams — including Dallas and Sacramento — and hopes to be a first-round draft pick. He is attending this weekend's NBA pre-draft camp in Chicago. While Calathes has not officially signed with an agent, he has let UF know he is leaving — regardless of his draft status.
SI.com currently does not have Calathes projected as a first-round draft pick or as one of the top point guards in the upcoming draft on June 25. Insidehoops.com, however, has him going 29th to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Underclassmen have until June 15 to pull their names out of the draft and return to college if they do not sign with an agent.

Panathinaikos has won more than two dozen Greek national championships and five Euro League titles. His deal is believed to be worth more than $1 million.
Calathes was the SEC co-freshman of the year in 2008 and last season was a first-team All-SEC selection and the only player in the nation to average better than 15 points, five rebounds and six assists a game. But he leaves UF without playing in the NCAA Tournament after two straight NIT berths.
