2022 Fall Twirler Announcements - Sam Houston State University

 Hello Texas Twirl Fans!

It is that exciting time of year where twirlers are auditioning for twirling spots for the Fall. This blog hopes to help spread the excitement by announcing the selections for the lovely twirlers we will see on the field very soon in Texas and representing out of State. If you have an announcement for new twirler selections for 2022-23, please email texastwirlcontact@gmail.com so that we can help spread the word!

Today we announce the selection of the 2022-23 Sam Houston State University Feature Twirlers!

The SHSU Twirlers, led by Coordinator Kelley McCormick, are the pride of Sam Houston State University. Located in Huntsville, Texas, SHSU is the home of the Bearkats. Following the auditions this spring, one returning twirler and two new twirlers were selected to call SHSU their home as well!

Returning to Bowers stadium will be veteran SHSU Feature Twirler, Yelayna Rossi! Yelayna is from Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and will be a senior majoring in Political Science and minoring in Public Administration & Public Policy. 

New to the Bearkat community will be Katelynn Carter! Katelynn is from Tyler, Texas, and is graduating this month from Tyler Junior College, where she was the Feature Twirler for the past few years. She will be a junior at SHSU and is majoring in English. 

Also joining them will be Lynsey Threadgill! Lynsey is from Franklin, Texas, and served her freshman year as a BMB percussion member. She will be a sophomore Criminal Justice major. 

We are so excited to see these three in the orange and blue this Fall! Congrats Yelayna, Katelynn, & Lynsey!
