Figure skaters from Skate Thompson did an awesome job at the Skate Canada Manitoba Sectional Championships held Nov. 7-8 in Brandon at the Kinsmen Arena. Brandon was the host to 75 of the province’s highest-skilled skaters. Amy Shier, Madyson Caldwell and Megan Szabo all skated remarkably well, displaying all their hard work, dedication and talent that they have for the sport. For many figure skaters, this championship is their first exposure to the competitive stream competition of figure skating. The top four skaters in pre-novice, novice , junior and senior categories advance to compete at the Skate Canada Challenge Competition being held in Montreal. The Skate Canada Challenge Competition is the qualifying competition for Canadian Figure Skating Championships in 2015.
Amy Shier placed first in the 11-and-under (11U) pre-juvenile women’s freeskate. Madyson Caldwell placed third in the 11U pre-juvenile women’s freeskate. Megan Szabo placed second in the 11U juvenile women’s freeskate. Great job, girls! You all are an inspiration for our Thompson skaters!
Skate Thompson held their Test Day Nov. 15. Skaters are also busy preparing for an upcoming competition called SuperSkate Nov. 28-29 in Winnipeg. Any spare time you may have, come to the Thompson Regional Community Centre to watch some fantastic figure skating.
