BATON TWIRLING COACH NAMED 2007 COACH OF THE YEAR

The Russell's All Star Twirling and Dance Studio from Coatesville, PA
is very proud of their artistic director and their 10th anniversary
this year. Mrs. Elaine Russell was recently awarded the 2007 Coach of
the Year at a competition that was held in Norristown, PA. The award
is given to the top teacher with the most cumulative winners from the
students. The All Star Students shined in all the events winning the
team divisions, individual and duets. All of the members of the
studio have enjoyed working together as a team and not only winning
the most recent world class championship, but being able to come
together in every event to show the director how much she is
appreciated and deserves every championship that we win because of her
creativity, desire and passion for the sport of baton twirling and the
art of dance . This year they started their season off by marching in
two Christmas Parades and competed over a dozen competitions around
the USA.
The Russell's Studio is under the Direction of Mrs. Elaine Russell
and coached by Tammy Russell, Holly Russell. What an incredible
season and looking forward to the 2007-2008 season. Check out updates

West Chester University Feature Twirlers Collegiate World Champions!

Starting in the Fall of 2005, these three twirlers, Tammy Russell,
Holly Russell and Laurie Harvey came together as the Incomparable
Golden Rams Marching Band Feature Twirlers. Who would have known
there hard work, dedication to the sport of baton twirling and their
coach Mrs. Elaine Russell could bring them to their ultimate victory.
The twirlers, coach and Mr. Russell headed to Indianapolis for the
NCAA intercollegiate baton twirling competition. This being the
first time that WCU was ever represented at a baton twirling event
like this. Hundreds of colleges came together for the ultimate goal
of bring home the gold for their college. WCU did that with flying
colors! The twirlers brought home gold in every event including the
Overall Championship. What a dream, but WCU twirlers did not stop
there. The following month they flew to Orlando Florida for the
Collegiate Classic held in Disney World. The team had a flawless
first round going into the second round where they captured the
ultimate Collegiate Classic at Epcot. All of their dreams are coming
true. WCU was on the map for having some of the greatest baton
twirlers around the country.
Team and coach then decided the ultimate finish would be to go to
Notre Dame for the World championships in July. The team trained
hours at the Russell's All Star Dance and Twirling Studio in
Coatesville and at the Layton Park in Wagontown, PA to prepare for
this next adventure. For two weeks the team was on the road and the
moment finally came. WCU is to take the floor in finals for the
Collegiate World Championships. A one drop routine and the crowd
goes wild. The team went on to win the Collegiate World Dance Twirl
Championships. In second was Penn State University and Third was
Alabama University.
It has been a dream, a victory and true home-town success story of a
small university twirling team that takes the world by storm. This
has never been accomplished by any other university and West Chester
University has done it! Three consecutive championship titles! The
three twirlers are now gearing up for their new season at their studio
the Russell's School of Baton and Dance. A big thank you goes to
their biggest supporters and coaches, Mr. And Mrs. Russell for all of
their dedication, time
