You can find the article here.
Ashley's always been a hard worker; it's great that she turned around a bad season's end into something positive. If she's really cleaned up her lutz; that would be great and be an intense boost to her SP score. I really really hope she can finally become National Champion next season. And grasp some ISU Championship medals; she came close last season with a 4th place at the GPF.
As a fan it's great to see her compare herself to Eldredge; she aspires a long career and what more can a fan want?
So she does not go to college?
As far as I know she's been attending some classes at community college this year and wants to get more serious about her further education next year; but I'm guessing she won't do a full course load, but she'll probably do more classes than she has been doing this year and start working towards a degree. The past season it was always her intention to put skating first; next season I think she'll try to balance it with academics. That's the gist I've been getting from her responses in interviews on that subject.
Very nice to hear about her working to get rid of the flutz. It shows much persistence and attention to detail. Once you get to such a high level, it must be hard to find the motivation to rework things rather than just stay in your comfort zone.
Good luck to Ashley!
