I'm not surprised. She grew and things were never quite as easy afterward. Rockne is just a little too short for a male pair skater. I hope if he finds a new partner, it is one who has finished growing, and is very petite. Do any of you remember Mariel Miller?

Well, she grew, too.
it took Jeremy Barrett a long while to finally find the right partner. Rockne is already a superstar so it should be easier for him to have his pick of the crop.
I think it's much more important that Rockne take the time he needs to find a suitable partner than worrying about losing his bye to US Nationals. There's no need to rush anything if he is serious about developing as a successful pair team for the next Olympic cycle. He and a new partner (if he found one in time for this season) wouldn't necessarily be handed a Skate America spot anyway. Normally the Skate America TBA and Senior B pairs spots are determined by the results of the Indy Challenge pairs competition in late July/early August (that's how Castile/Okolski earned their Nebelhorn Trophy and Skate America assignments last year).
