Ashley Conley, 16 year old daughter of Earl (Junior) and Carolyn Conley of Orma, West Virginia recently won three new twirling titles.

In June she won the Drum Majorettes of America, Miss Majorette of WV, and the DMA Miss Ohio Valley Majorette, a regional title. In May, Ashley won the National Baton Twirling Association, Miss Majorette of WV title.

By winning these advanced titles, she has earned the opportunity to represent WV at NBTA Nationals at Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana and the DMA Nationals at Gardner Webb University in Boiling Springs, North Carolina in July. Since both competitions are during the end of July, Ashley had to choose between the two, she chose to attend the DMA Nationals in North Carolina.

Ashley is also the reigning DMA Miss Appalachian Queen, the Red Heart Queen, and Miss Classic Sr. Halftime. She is the feature twirler for the Calhoun Red Devils Marching Band.

Her parents and coach, Lorraine Bailey of Minnora, are very proud of all of her accomplishments.
