I see senior women but aside from Logan Higase-Chen no one I have heard of

How did I miss those?
1 Logan Higase-Chen, Broadmoor SC
2 Lauren Widrick, North Shore SC
3 Hannah Gahan, Coyotes SC of Arizona
4 Grace Clifford, Carousel FSC
5 Stephanie Coe, Wenatchee FSC
6 Lily Weinfurter, Glacier Falls FSC
7 Violet Ee, Ice Skating Association of Malaysia

Wonder if Violet Ee - Sr for Malaysia and Vera Ee - Jr for All Year FSC are related?

Hey all, this one is local for me. The ice is great and the organizers always work hard to put on a nice event, so tune into the stream if you have the time. I'm excited to watch Logan Higase Chen live, and it's always fun to check out where people are at in July and see how the season works out for them.
