GLEN ROSE More than a decade ago, Laney Whitefield began dreaming of becoming a Texas Tech Twirler after she met twirler Amanda Tolley at the West Texas Twirling Championships in Odessa.
“I was fascinated by her every move and thought it was so cool how she was a college kid and was a feature twirler for my dream school,” Whitefield said. “I knew I wanted to be just like her and join a sisterhood like the Texas Tech Twirlers.”
A little friendship grew between the two, and they would connect whenever they ran across each other.
