Synchronized teams:

Junior Youth (5-8 years old): Second Place
Youth (7-11 years old): First Place
Senior Youth (11-14 years old): First Place

Second place honors went to Alyssa Reeves, Kristen Oleson, Olivia Herrera, Summer Furrer, all from the South Tahoe Middle School, for their ensemble to the theme of the musical "Grease" which they choreographed themselves.

Keatyn Louise, Olive Hamner-Jillson, Kiara Furrer, Olivia Herrera, and Summer Furrer also competed in solo events.

Kristen Oleson and Summer Furrer, and Olive Hamner-Jillson and Kiara Furrer also competed as duos.

The girls, who all skate at the South Tahoe Ice Arena, earned the third place overall award, which is calculated by adding the points awarded by the placements of each skater and teams from each of the participating rinks. The competition was sanctioned by the Ice Skating Institute.

Coaches Susan Campbell-Howe and Alex Furrer were at the event preparing skaters to take the ice, judging other events, preparing props, and keeping the young participants safe.
