At Cranberry Open, I saw Donlon/Speroff skated their FS, really liked this team. She had very nice on ice presentation.They looked young, are they age eligible for JGP?

I think Speroff is too old (born in May 1988)

Yes, Andrew Speroff is too old -- he turned 22 this past May (he competed twice on the JGP with Brittany Chase in the fall of 2008). Gretchen Donlan is 16 and will be 17 in November. As a new team last season they finished 8th in Junior Pairs at 2010 U.S. Nationals and have made remarkable progress since then.

Here's Donlan/Speroff's lovely SP performance from the Cranberry Open webcast ("Moonlight Sonata"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPZaXsnsi2I
