LAFSC SKATERS SHINE AT JUNIOR NATIONALS (12/14/2008)

Our team brings home 5 medals.           

Congratulations to all of our LAFSC skaters and their coaches who competed this week at the 2009 U.S. Junior Figure Skating Championships.  You all made us very proud!  Great skating and a week filled with a lot of snow made this an experience to remember for our team!

LAFSC was represented in every Juvenile event.  Brenda Ji earned 6^th place in her Juvenile Girls qualifying round and moved on to the championship round where she placed 16^th in the freeskate and 16^th overall.

LAFSC had 3 Juvenile Boys competing in the championships.  Patrick Leahy earned 12^th and Spencer Howe finished 1^st in Group A in the qualifying round.   Skating in qualifying Group B, Daniel Samohin was 4^th.   Both Spencer and Daniel qualified for the championship round where, in a very close fight for the medal stand, Daniel finished 8^th and Spencer won the Silver Medal. 

Yura Min, with partner Sean Sunyoto, represented LAFSC in Juvenile Ice Dance.   They shook off a 10^th place finish in their first compulsory dance to get 5^th in the second compulsory dance.  Shining in the freedance, Yura and Sean got 2^nd place to finish 4^th overall and they will bring home the Pewter Medal.

Juvenile Pairs only got to skate once in these championships, so it was “do or die” in this event.  Devin Perini, with his partner Devynn Sharpe, captured 4^th place and the Pewter Medal.  Rachel Trail and Darian Weiss improved on last year’s 9^th place qualifying round result to finish 6th overall in this year’s championships.

At the Intermediate level, LAFSC had skaters in each event except Intermediate Ice Dance.  In the Intermediate Ladies qualifying round, Katarina Kulgeyko finished 3^rd in Group A while Katherine Gorodetsky finished 3^rd in Group B. In the short program, Katarina was 1^st and Katherine was 12^th.  In the freeskate, Katherine was again 12^th and finished 12^th overall.  Katarina was 1^st in the freeskate with a personal best score,  and improved upon her 7^th place finish at last year’s event to win the Gold Medal.

In the Intermediate Men’s event, both  Shotaro Omori and Devin Perini skated in qualifying round Group A with Shotaro taking 3^rd place and Devin finishing 4^th.   In the championship round, Shotaro was 6^th in the short program and Devin was 19^th.  Both moved up in the freeskate, where Devin was 15^th and Shotaro was 2^nd .   In the final standings, Devin was 15^th and Shotaro, who was 5^th in Juvenile Boys last year, finished 3^rd for the Bronze Medal. 

Like the Juvenile Pairs, Intermediate Pairs only had one chance to skate at these championships.  Brooke Johnson and Brooks Ishler, who were 5^th in Juvenile Pairs at last year’s championships, finished 8^th at the more challenging Intermediate level this year.
