The club took 11 skaters to the competition and brought back 10 medals.
Tiia Bracket was awarded silver for her performance in star 6/7 solo dance, while Aili Bracket won a silver medal for her gold artistic performance and was also awarded the overall Junior artistic award.
Taylor Singer also brought home two gold medals in the Pre-Novice women’s short and long program, and Milo Jarvis was awarded a gold medal for his first competition in pre-Juvenile men.
Jen McNutt achieved a personal best score for her skate in Adult Gold freeskate. She won a gold medal for that performance and another gold in the Adult Gold Artistic event.
Jordan Singer wrapped up her competitive skating journey with a bronze medal in Star 10 freeskate and was named the winner of the Senior overall artistic award.
