The THON 2026 Pep Rally has come to a close.

The Penn State men’s soccer team was crowned pep rally champion by judges’ decision on Saturday evening at the BJC.

The Blue Band, the Color Gaurd and Blue Sapphire kicked off the THON 2026 Pep Rally with “We Are” and “FTK” chants. The Nittany Lion energized the crowd with 46 one-armed pushups with the cheerleaders by his side.

The THON 2026 Pep Rally emcees were Penn Staters Juwan and Chanen Johnson.

Penn State football head coach Matt Campbell and former Nittany Lions quarterback Trace McSorley appeared on stage to offer support.

Last year’s pep rally winners, the women’s volleyball team, started the dance competition with a performance to “Lip Gloss” by Lil Mama.

Penn State football brought the juice to their performance, hitting multiple backflips and getting the crowd going with the “Surf Swag” dance. Quarterback Drew Allar and former tight end Tyler Warren made virtual appearances on the jumbotron.

And of course, the Lionettes brought their famous dance moves to the stage.

Men’s gymnastics showed off impressive agility in its performance, getting to the final round. They made the crowd go wild with backflips and somersaults, but came up short.

Men’s soccer took home the trophy, dancing to “Rock that Body” by the Black Eyed Peas and “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan. The team celebrated with Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous “SIUUU” celebration at center stage.
