Baton twirler all of my life and throughout college.
James...in response to your query....
My husband spotted for me as my "partner-dance partner" during half-time shows in college, and we competed in "pairs" in sanctioned state, sanctioned regionals, and unsanctioned national-ish competitions in 2001. For old people, we did really well (5th in regionals and 2nd in state). One day he told me, "I am NOT going to learn how to do a front walk-over..don't even ask."

Oh, and at 4 feet 3 inches tall, I was our junior high school team's shot putter!
