ORLANDO, Fla. – ESPN's Wide World of Sports Complex is becoming more and more like a second home for the College of Saint Benedict dance team.
 
CSB competed at the Orlando venue four times over a two-day span, and heads home to St. Joseph with a pair of top-six finishes in the nation as a result.
 
Saint Benedict finished third in the Open Pom category and sixth in Open Jazz Sunday afternoon at the Universal Dance Association College Nationals in Orlando, Fla. This marks the fifth time in the past six seasons that CSB has finished in the top five in the country in the Open Pom category. Saint Benedict won national titles in 2013 and 2014.
 
CSB first competed in both categories Saturday, Jan. 13, and advanced to the finals thanks to solid semifinal performances. Saint Benedict was one of nine teams to advance in the Open Pom category and one of 14 to advance to Sunday's finals in the Open Jazz category.
 
Orange Coast College won both the pom and jazz titles, and Northwest Missouri State took second ahead of CSB in Open Pom. Saint Benedict finished ahead of St. Cloud State (fourth) and Minnesota State-Mankato (fifth) in pom, and ahead of seventh-place St. Thomas in the Open Jazz category. Lindenwood College took second in Open Jazz and St. Cloud State finished third.
 
CSB returns home this week and will perform at halftime of CSB and Saint John's basketball games throughout the second semester.
