What an exciting summer for #TeamTexas! Between State, Nationals, and the IBTF events, we have all been going non-stop. Before we jump headfirst into field season, we wanted to take some time and celebrate our State pageant winners! Over the next few weeks, we will be recognizing them here on the blog. Congrats to all of these talented twirlers on their success at State this past June!
