Going to Sectionals?

[sk8er1964]

My coach and his partner seem to have had a good Mids. They are a very new team -- in fact, this is only their second competition together. From looking at their scores, it looks like things went well. I can't wait to hear the details when he gets back!

Their discipline and placement are not relevant to this post -- I'm just so bursting with pride for them that I had to post something!

Hallelujah! Rohene Ward is going to Nationals...and with any luck at all....it will be on to Torino!

Sylvia - Do all top 3 places in every discipline automatically qualify for the Nationals.

Thanks Nicole. I'll be going to Nats and hoping that Rohene skates clean and see what made Parker win. Hoping also to see Katy control the nerves. And, of course, see:

I didn't see Amber Corwin's name on any Sectionals roster of winners. Actually, I didn' see her name under "withdrawn" either. What's up with that?

She had an international bye to Nationals because she is scheduled to compete at Cup of Russia this week.

Oh, thanks. I wonder why she bothered to compete in Regionals (or had to).

Oh, thanks. I wonder why she bothered to compete in Regionals (or had to).

Corwin was required to compete at SWP Regionals in Oct. because she didn't meet any of the criteria for a bye through Regionals.
