Ronda Thomas has been in cheer and dance for far longer than she’s willing to admit! Dancing since 3 and cheering since 6 in multiple states, Ronda has loved these industries her entire life and the passion is continuously fueled as she watches generation after generation grow and evolve in these athletic activities! Her own children have done amazing things as multiple National Champions, Collegiate Champions, and US National Team Gold and Silver Medalists. Ronda started the Washington State Cheer Championship which is now known as the WIAA Cheer State Championship, she helped found the Washington State Cheer Coaches Association, and is a founding member of the Washington State Cheer Judges Association. Ronda has coached at multiple levels through the years, from minis to collegiate, and has enjoyed training athletes at all ages. She is very proud of the many athletes she trained through the years who, themselves, have gone on to coach and inspire athletes of all levels and ages. Ronda is excited for all that’s to come and looks forward to being part of the journey going forward on every level!

Tyler Frye has been in cheer and dance since the young age of 4 starting in a studio dancing and then moving into cheer once her family opened their cheer and dance gym. Tyler was a part of teams from Mini through Senior levels during her years in All-Stars, winning multiple Regional and National titles and helping her Junior team rank 8th in the world in the final year of her family's gym. Tyler continued her All-Star career with two other gyms, helping each of them be Nationally Competitive on many levels! Tyler also cheered in high school, helping her team win the State Championship in the 4A division. Tyler then found her way across the country to the incomparable Morehead State University where she made the incredible, highly decorated All-Girl team and had the honor of taking the competition mat for three years. Tyler won two National Collegiate titles with the awesome Morehead All-Girl team and then had the honor of representing USA on the USA National All-Girl Team where she won both a Silver and Gold medal! Tyler has also coached at the collegiate level with Marshall (We are...Marshall!) and assists as an alumni with Morehead whenever possible. Tyler has helped with multiple iterations of the Washington State rubric and is highly sought out for stunting clinics for her knowledge and experience as a flyer, base, and tumbler! Tyler currently resides in Tallahassee, Florida with her husband who works at FSU and her beloved fur-babies Marco and Benny! Tyler looks forward to helping teams that come to CDF with video reviews and possible clinics and camps!
