Congratulations to our newest blue sapphire!

We are so excited to announce that our next Blue Sapphire will be Delaney Higgins! Delaney is an incoming freshman from Long Valley, New Jersey. She is majoring in Psychology with a minor in Special Education in the College of Liberal Arts.

“I’m so incredibly grateful and honored to be the 18th Blue Sapphire! I have dreamed of becoming a feature twirler since I was 6 years old, and now getting to step into this role feels like a dream come true. I’m beyond excited to continue building on this amazing legacy at Penn State! WE ARE!”
