"Tami has pure talent and natural grace which makes her easy to coach".

"Dayna has only been twirling for 7 months and has accomplished so much" said her Coach, Roseann Lahey. "She has heart, dedication and talent. Those three things make a Champion! Big things are in store for Dayna". Dayna has family in Des Moines so this will be a wonderful opportunity for her family to see her in action.

That is really good that you do this and work hard. I hope you keep up hard working and do good at the Olypmpics. Its a shame twirlers arent on parade anymore. They were the best parts of parades. Maybe you can do that.

Twirling is great. I twirled when I was a kid and it was fun. I never won anything but it was fun anyway.

Why was this not on the news? Two young girls that are working to improve themselves and accomplishing something is by far better story than many of the fluff stories on the news these days. I think what you both are doing is wonderful.
