As you may know, we have four pairs of skaters and one individual skater competing for a chance to be champions.
Just a little note to let you know how things are going:
Page Lawerance and Rudi Sweigers competed in Saskatoon at the Canadian Championships and were 4th. Having done this, they are on the National Team and have qualified for the World Junior Championships in Ostrava in the Czech Republic.
Now on to Cleveland at the US National Championships.
Yesterday, Haven Denney & Daniel Raad placed 2nd in he Novice Pairs Short Program with 35.73 points, only 3.5 points out of 1st place. Their long program is this afternoon. Good luck to them!
Tracy Tanovich & Michael Chau have also been practicing hard in the Junior Pair event and Michael is doing double duty in the Junior Mens event. Their first competition is on Wednesday.
Our Senior teams of Caydee Denney & Jeremy Barrett and Amanda Evora & Mark Ladwig arrived late last night and will begin practicing today.
Weather has been a bit of an issue. Cleveland has had record snow and record cold this year. Travel back and forth to the practice rink is close to an hour, so this makes days very long.
Well, that is all from teh AT&T US Nationals in Cleveland.
