Brittany Brown knows what it's like to be at the top of her game, especially since being named number one in  

Baton twirling

  for two consecutive years (Grand National Champion in 2001 and college National Champion in 2002) by the National Baton Twirling Association.

"I was born into the sport of baton twirling," says Brittany, a junior at West Virginia University (WVU, Morgantown, WV). "My father had a full ride to Indiana University (Bloomington, IN), and taught twirling all over Europe. He was my first teacher."

She began competing at six years old, and knew right away she was on her way to becoming a twirling superstar - leading her to pursue the sport in high school.

"When I entered high school, I began training more extensively," she says. "I started getting national recognition, and began climbing the ranks."

In addition to being skilled at baton twirling, Brittany believes her positive attitude has helped her, too. "You don't have to be the most talented person" she explains, "but, if you enjoy what you do, you will be successful."

Since Brittany - who's active with WVU's Air Force ROTC program - is done with twirling, she says "I want to focus on my goal of getting commissioned in the Air Force."
