Eastern Illinois University’s featured baton twirler will compete at a national baton twirling competition this week.

Nicola Colucy, a Bolingbrook native and a junior kinesiology and sports studies student, will compete during the America’s Youth on Parade national baton twirling competition at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind.

In the competition, Colucy will represent EIU’s Panther Marching Band as the featured twirler for the part of the competition called the National Collegiate Championship.

Colucy is recognized as the 2015 Miss College Majorette of Illinois Runner Up and Miss Collegiate Midwest Region Royalty. She also earned the title of Two Baton Champion at the Illinois State Championships in Zion, Ill., this month.
