Instead, it was the team's Jazz routine, which earned second place at the contest, NBC affiliate KARE reported. The Ohio State Dance team's routine to Frank Sinatra's "My Way" won the gold.

Minnesota's routine, set to Aerosmith's popular "Dream On" song, alludes to the school's 2004 team, which performed to the same song at the National Championships 20 years prior.

The 2024 version of the routine stunned social media, gathering millions of views from college dance fans and beyond. The routine even captured the attention of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

"This is badass," Walz wrote on X, above a video of the routine.

Dozens of other videos posted to TikTok shared the same sentiment.

"How did they land an axel on one foot and then continue a turn sequence?!!," one comment said, followed by another that said, "Those turns are so synchronized! That is so difficult with a group this size."

"Help, I can't stop watching this," another video says, showing a clip of the unbelievable synchronization.
