Student Teacher
Riley is from Williamstown, West Virginia. She has been twirling individually since 2018 and joined the Phoenix Twirlers in July of 2023. From the moment she joined, Riley has shown incredible passion and drive for the sport. She’s a dedicated and determined twirler who loves learning new tricks and refuses to give up until she masters them, sometimes we even have to drag her out of the gym because she just doesn’t want to stop practicing! Her commitment and enthusiasm shine through in everything she does.
Riley is full of energy and always brings a bright smile to every practice and performance. One of her proudest twirling moments was earning her first two pageant titles in 2022, which motivated her to push herself even further. Since then, she’s collected numerous titles in just a short amount of time. Riley is the 2025 NBTA West Virginia Preteen Show Twirl State Champion, Intermediate Open Solo Winner, and Beginner Open Two Baton Winner. She also earned the prestigious High Point Award at the 2025 Miss Majorette of West Virginia Pageant and Open Competition, an incredible accomplishment that reflects her hard work and dedication to her craft.
Riley is beyond excited to serve as the 2025–2026 Williamstown High School Feature Twirler. As just an eighth grader, she’s eager to take on this leadership role and represent her school with pride. She’s thrilled to continue performing, growing, and inspiring others through her twirling. Riley is grateful to be part of such a welcoming and supportive team and loves calling Phoenix her twirling family. She treasures the friendships she’s made along the way and continues to make new twirling friends everywhere she goes, spreading positivity, energy, and love for the sport wherever she twirls.
