Riley Windland
Riley is twelve years old and is from Williamstown, West Virginia. She has been twirling individually since 2018 and joined Phoenix Twirlers in July of 2023. Riley is a very hard worker and has found a new love for the sport of baton twirling. She loves working on new tricks and will not stop until she gets it. Sometimes, we have to drag her out of the gym because she just won't stop practicing!

Fun Facts
Riley's favorite tricks are spin tricks, but she especially loves working on her three spins. She is currently working towards mastering her toss illusions, many different types of rolls, and different two and three baton tricks. She has definitely taken a new liking to three baton recently! She is looking forward to improving her old skills, learning new skills, and creating new memories with her Phoenix teammates.
