Moriah Muscaro, of Grand Valley State University, competed as part of Team USA in the Baton Solo Event category at the World Baton Twirling Championships in Italy this month.

She took fourth place in the international event.

Muscaro is a third-generation baton twirler. She said her “two perfect routines” during the preliminary and final rounds were personal bests.

“Twirling for 17 years, my goal was always to reach this highest level, so just to be at the World Championships was a dream come true,” Muscaro said. “I am very proud to bring this fourth place finish back to the USA and GVSU.”

Muscaro earned her spot on Team USA by winning a finalist position at the National Baton Twirling Association National Championships in 2014.

With offers from three medical schools on the table, Muscaro will retire from twirling to continue pursuing her dream of becoming a physician. Following one final competition this summer, she will continue to coach and judge.
