West Virginia Synchro Nov2010

On November 2oth our ice arena hosted the Mountain State Synchronized Skate. They had teams for all over the region, Ohio, New Jersey, Maryland, etc. The group form Maryland had 50 skaters on 4 teams. We were glad to have them. Lexy's team skated in the Beginner 1 Class against two other teams. The skated to a tiki, hula girl song and dress like they belong on the beach somewhere.

After months of practice, they won first place, gold metals. All the little girls were soooo happy.

Two of these girls have only skated with the team for about 6 weeks. The minimum number of skaters to have on the team is 8, they had just enough. Not they take this routine to 2 Christmas shows and an intermission at the big WVU vs Pitt hockey game in January. There is a small chance that they may travel to another synchro competition.

One of the highlights for the competition is to have the University of Ohio's Synchro team perform. They are pretty good. It's great to show the little girls what opportunities are out there if they want to continue.
