University of Oklahoma feature twirler Megan McGeary has been impressing crowds at Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium at every home game this football season and will continue her twirling during the basketball seasons.
The junior multi-disciplinary studies major grew up in Altoona, Penn. in what she called a “hotbed” of twirlers.
“There are several twirling studios, it’s had a couple Miss Majorettes of America, and everyone twirls there because they dream of twirling at PSU,” McGeary said.
Because the twirler at Penn. State is allowed to twirl all four years of her college career, McGeary was unable to be the feature twirler at PSU and was set on being a feature twirler, rather than being on the majorette line.
Though she originally wanted to be at PSU, McGeary loves OU.
“If I had to do it over again and got the opportunity to twirl at PSU, I would pick OU every time, 10 times over,” McGeary said, “I was meant to be at OU.”
McGeary enjoys OU, the area, and the state so much she plans to start her career here after graduating. McGeary intends to open her own twirling studio to teach and coach young twirlers while also performing at events and games.
In the immediate future, McGeary will twirl throughout the OU basketball season and will train for the Miss Majorette of America competition in which she has finished first runner-up the past two summers.
