Many Columbians will remember Brittany as the talented “fire twirler” at Columbia High School. At Clemson University, she excelled in academics. Brittany was named to the Dean’s List every semester at Clemson and named to the President’s list with a perfect 4.0 for the fall semester of 2012 and was the featured Tiger twirler for the Clemson University Marching Band. Brittany closed out her Clemson twirling career on Monday night, December 31^st in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga. as the Clemson Tigers defeated the LSU Tigers, 25-24 in the 2012 Chick-Fil-A Bowl.
