Social media has taken note of Regalado’s rising star, with fans and alumni posting highlight clips and messages of support. One post reads, “She’s not just a cheerleader — she’s the spirit of MSU in motion.”
With graduation approaching, Regalado remains focused on finishing strong — both academically and athletically. Though her future plans include pursuing a career in physical therapy, she’s already made a lasting impact on the Spartan legacy.
In a program that prides itself on excellence, Peyton Regalado has become more than a cheerleader. She is the sparkle in Michigan State’s shining journey — a glow of determination lighting the way for those who follow.
