More about Lee Ann Wilson:
Lee Ann (Roberts) Wilson, born in Port Hope, Ontario began her Baton Twirling career at five years old with the Harvey Dancing Academy in Oshawa. When her potential became evident, she changed teachers and began training with a nationally acclaimed coach and choreographer Betty Feist Lyons of Hamilton. After winning four Canadian Baton Twirling Championships and finishing fifth at the National Baton Twirling Championship in St. Paul, Minnesota, it was time to take the sport to the next level. Lee Ann formed the Oshawa Camaros Baton Club becoming Head Coach and Technical Director thirty years ago in October of 1977. The club was awarded titles at Provincial, National and World competitions besides winning the Canadian Baton Twirling Federation Canadian Group Challenge Cups in 2004 and 2005. Lee Ann is involved as a competition director for Durham, Ontario and Canadian championships, and she was treasurer of the provincial body that won a Sport Recognition Award. Her proudest moment and achievement was seeing her daughter be the Canadian representative for the 2006 World Twirling Champsionships in Rome, Italy and the first Camaro member to achieve that status. Receiving the Canadian Baton Twirling Federations Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005 was a highlight for Lee Ann, and with her family's support she continues to promote the sport of Baton Twirling.
