Wasn't she already the silver medalist last year?tharrtell said:If so, she's got a long time ahead of her to push through the jr. ranks (outside the US, anyway) even though she might already have the goods to do so.

Sylvia said:Actaully, Meissner is old enough (14 by July 1, 2004) this season to compete as a senior internationally in Grand Prix and 'B' events (she would need to be 15 by the previous July 1 to be age-eligible for ISU Championships), which is why she could be invited to Campbell's. However, she can receive more ISU ranking points by competing and doing well in the Jr. Grand Prix and Final and Jr. Worlds than in the senior B events.
