Mark Demayo, ABS-CBN News</figcaption></figure></div>MANILA -- Far Eastern University (FEU) may have returned in the podium this year as the first runner up in the UAAP Season 81 Cheerdance Competition, but it came as a little surprise for the FEU Cheering Squad&#x27;s head coach given the stiff contest on Saturday.Not that he was doubting his squad&#x27;s chances of winning, Randell San Gregorio admitted that he felt threatened after defending champion Adamson University came in third place.San Gregorio doubted whether or not his team had a slot in the top 3, noting that University of Santo Tomas (UST) Salinggawi Dance Troupe was also a strong contender for silver medal.&quot;Nung ina-announce na third &#x27;yung Adamson, na-threaten ako. &#x27;Di ko napanood &#x27;yung Adamson. Akala ko UST [ang first runner up],&quot; San Gregorio said.He was also quick to explain that he was not discounting the ability of Adamson. San Gregorio pointed out that he was just not able to see the &quot;Lion King&quot;-inspired routine of the Adamson Pep Squad.&quot;Based sa napanood ko, nung tinawag &#x27;yung Adamson, sabi ko, &#x27;nag-place ba kami?&#x27; Di ako magtataka kung second place ang UST. Ganoon kabigat &#x27;yung laban,&quot; San Gregorio asserted.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2018/11/17/nu-pep-squad-claims-fifth-uaap-cdc-crown-last-six-years-49949">READ: NU Pep Squad claims fifth UAAP CDC crown in last six years</a></li></ul>He also revealed that after watching the performance of NU Pep Squad, he knew already the game was over.San Gregorio further admitted that watching NU&#x27;s performance inspired and challenged him to achieve the skills level of the eventual champions, who flaunted a flawless routine to book its fifth title in six years.&quot;Di ako naka-feel na na-threaten ako. It is more like ang galing nila. Nakaka-inspire sila. The challenge now is how to be on the same level. Darating din tayo dun,&quot; San Gregorio added.Asked if they are seeing themselves equalizing the difficulty of stunts being done by NU, San Gregorio said they are following timeline which might help them reach the same level of the Bulldogs.He also stressed how helpful NU&#x27;s jaw-dropping tosses, pyramids and dance on improving the entire competition.&quot;Lagi naman nasa plan &#x27;yun. Kasi this year dapat mas maaga kami [magpe-prepare] pero dahil sa injuries, nahila kami pabalik. Maganda &#x27;yung ganun sila kasi kung ganun sila, hahabulin namin sila. &#x27;Pag hinabol namin &#x27;yun, e &#x27;di lahat gagaling,&quot; San Gregorio bared.The four-year FEU coach said the cheerdance competition in the UAAP has evolved already. Gone were the days when dance was the highlight of the routine.&quot;Mas inaabangan ngayon &#x27;yung stunt. Hindi lang gumi-gimmick &#x27;yung tao sa sayaw, pati sa stunts at cheer elements, gumi-gimmick na,&quot; San Gregorio said.After settling for bridesmaid finish twice in the last three years, FEU will try to knock on the top podium&#x27;s door next season.&quot;We will try to win next year, not the beat NU, but to win kasi gusto namin manalo.&quot;For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com" target="_blank">Sports website.</a>
