I believe this is Alissa Czisny's first-ever trip to Liberty.Among those scheduled to compete are reigning Canadian champion Patrick Chan, who won the senior men's event here last season, landing his first-ever triple Axel in competition; 2007 U.S. bronze medalist Alissa Czisny; reigning U.S. bronze medalist Ashley Wagner, who is expected to compete in the senior ladies short program event; and Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig, fifth in pairs at the 2008 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
