YOU SEE THEM EVERY FALL ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD.. BATON TWIRLING DANCERS WHO SPICE UP THE HALFTIME SHOWS.
CLAY CENTER HIGH SCHOOL IS LUCKY TO HAVE A WORLD CHAMP ON THEIR BATON TEAM.. AND SHE'S OUR GOOD KID THIS WEEK.
SHANNON LIVENGOOD IS STARTING HER SOPHOMORE YEAR AT CLAY CENTER HIGH.. AND WHAT A SUMMER SHE'S HAD.
TWIRLING SINCE SHE WAS FOUR.. AND COMPETITIVELY FOR TEN YEARS.. SHANNON'S HEAD IS PROBABLY SPINNING AFTER HER FABULOUS TRIP TO IRELAND IN AUGUST.
SHANNON COMPETED AS A MEMBER OF THE U-S-T-A'S INTERNATIONAL CUP TEAM OF THE WORLD BATON TWIRLING FOUNDATION.
SHE GOT LOTS OF SUPPORT FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS.. AND SHARED SOME OF HER THOUGHTS OF VISITING THE EMERALD ISLE.
We were there for one day.. and competed for two days.. it was beautiful."
I got 23rd in the international competition.."
SO SHANNON COULD BE CONSIDERED ONE OF THE TOP 25 TWIRLERS IN THE WORLD.
