Mendenhall High School senior and student-athlete Destney Hicks recently got an opportunity of a lifetime while performing in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla.
Hicks, who is an All-American Cheerleader, was invited to perform in the pre-game performance with more than 700 other trophy-winner cheerleaders from various cheer associations. The cheerleaders performed in front of 60,000 fans at this popular college football game in the Camping World Stadium, in Orlando, on New Year’s Day.
The Citrus Bowl has been a college football tradition since 1947. The game gives cheerleaders and dancers the opportunity to perform at the seventh oldest collegiate bowl in the country, as well as the opportunity to visit Universal Studios Orlando.
