Do the Iowa Spirit Squads compete at nationals?
Yes. Each fall the squads send in qualifying videos to UCA/UDA. The UI Athletics Department has set certain standards as to where each squad has to place in order for that squad to compete at Nationals, as well as having funds to compete. The Iowa Spirit Squads primary goal will always be to the intercollegiate athletics events it supports at the University of Iowa, nationals is a bonus to the squads.
