MANILA- After lifting the championship trophy for the first time last year, the Adamson Pep Squad left the MOA Arena on Saturday with a bronze medal, losing the title to perfect National University Pep Squad. With their Lion King-inspired routine, the Adamson managed to salvage the third spot to remain in the podium of the UAAP cheerdance competition and remained thankful for the award. Head coach Jam Lorenzo said that although there is a pinch of sadness from losing the crown, the team is still blessed to win, given the stiff competition this year.&quot;Sino bang hindi magiging thankful di ba? Pero syempre may kaunting lungkot pero sobrang evident naman at sobrang deserving lahat ng nanalo this season. And, pana-panahon lang yan,&quot; Lorenzo said. According to him, all participating universities unleashed performances a notch higher from the past editions of the contest, pushing the Adamson coaching staff to improve. &quot;Totoo naman na walang tapon this year. Talagang nag-step up lahat ng teams sobrang kitang kita sa lahat ng teams na nag-improve lahat. Challenge siya for me na mag-improve pa for next season,&quot; Lorenzo bared.Lorenzo also lauded the champions NU Pep Squad, revealing that it was his motivation to up their game on the mat.&quot;Motivation ko sila kasi they are undeniably good. Siyempre achievement na sa akin yung ma-dethrone sila last year in a good way. Ngayon, wala kami sa top spot but still nasa podium pa rin,&quot; he said. Instead of harboring ill feelings for the loss, the second year coach of Adamson stressed that sportsmanship must be practiced in every competition.The Adamson team was also noticed to have been cheering the NU to win the title after being called as the third placer. Lorenzo also said his squad had a shorter time to prepare this year as he lost athletes due to several personal and health issues after their winning run last year. &quot;We took five months or less nung prinactice namin &#x27;yun. Kasi after our championship, ang daming nagyari. Nag-compete kami abroad. May medical issues &#x27;yung mga umalis, family issues, so nag-recruit kami ulit ng bago na kailangan namn i-train,&quot; Lorenzo uttered.For more sports stories, visit<a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com"> ABS-CBN Sports website.</a>
