The competition was March 17, at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Two years ago, in 2015, the team finished fifth in the event.
“I am extremely proud of the team’s hard work this season,” head coach Sophia Fluellen said, in a statement. “Despite a few mistakes during the competition, they pulled through and took home the fourth place national trophy.”
She added: “It takes a tremendous amount of dedication for these student athletes to work for seven months to perform a 2½- minute routine.”
The college’s cheer team captured the state championship title on Feb. 11 in the College Co-Ed Level 6 division at the Florida State Fair, for the fifth time in seven years.
