Novice Ladies Freeskate
-
Joan Cristobal, 1st
-
The class of the field. Pink sparkly dress, skated to Four
Seasons. Landed a double axel, double axel/double toe,
double loop, double lutz and two other doubles. She also
landed triple sal and a triple sal/single toe combo, the
only novice lady with two triples. She has beautiful arms,
she moves like a ballerina. Graceful and elegant. She got
8 first place ordinals and one fourth place, go figure!
-
Brianna Weissmann, 2nd
-
White bodice with spaghetti straps, black body and skirt.
Music started out as Beethoven 5th, then changed to some
Classical music I didn't recognize. She did very high
double axels, good speed coming in and going out. Did
double axle and double axel/double toe, double loop, double
sal, double lutz/double toe, another double jump and another
double/double combo. She was very happy and smiled big time
when she completed her program.
-
Lanique Ruffin, 3rd
-
Very pretty peach costume with silver trim, some ballet
music I couldn't quite place. Landed double axel/double
toe, double lutz/double toe, double loop, double axel,
double lutz and another double/double combo. She has good
line and good presentation. She did a very nice spread
eagle for a full circle into a spiral, nice combination.
Unfortunately her free leg position in her layback would not
have pleased Dick Button. Nice headless fast scratch spin.
-
Kaillee Watson, 4th
-
Wore a red dress skated to Miss Saigon. When she landed the
triple sal it looked like she was going to burst into tears
of joy. She landed a double loop 3 / loops, another double
loop, double axel/double toe, a double lutz (it was
definitely a lutz I got to see the take off very clearly)
and two other double jumps. Was very happy when she
finished and grabbed her face with joy.
-
Christina Branom, 5th
-
White sleeves, dress with red roses trim, very pretty
dress. Lovely skater, moves very well and is very
expressive. Landed a double axel/double toe, double sal,
double lutz/double toe, double loop, another double/double
combination, two other double jumps and a triple jump.
-
Katie Mulvaney, 6th
-
Black bodice with slivery beads and a white skirt, very
jazzy number with Summertime as the slow part. Very good
presentation big smiled, she moved well to the music.
Landed a very high double axel, a double/double combination,
another double axel was a bit wobbly but she held onto it.
Did a lovely spread eagle into a popped the loop and fell on
the triple sal. God good height on the flying sit spin.
-
Sima Ganaba, 7th
-
She wore a black dress with big white beads. She did three
double axels with good height on all of them. One of the
axels was in combination with a double toe. She did a lot
of double jumps, two-footing only one. She did a double
flutz/double loop/double loop series.
-
Tara Sharma, 8th
-
Pretty pink and white dress. She has wonderful
presentation with balletic arms. She did a little flourish
right in front of the judges. Lets see she stepped out of a
double lutz, landed double axel, double sal, double
loop/double/loop, triple sal into a Russian split, another
double axel. She moves beautifully.
-
Stephanie Rosenthal, 9th
-
Oh I could eat her up with a spoon! I love this kid!
She did Cats and she was great, she did a lot of dance
moves, and really played the character of the music well.
This was a fabulous program. Wore a black dress with silver
sparkles. Landed a double loop/double loop, a double
jump/double loop, two double axels, another double jump, a
triple jump (I think), and another double/double
combination. She did a combo spin with a pancake position.
She had incredible expression to the music of _Memories_.
-
Erica Aden, 10th
-
Black dress with flames in sequins, skated to Firebird.
Landed a triple sal/double toe, 2 loop, double lutz stepped
out of into a double axel, fell out of another double axel
and fell on what I think was a triple toe.
-
Kristen Shwen, 11th
-
Blue dress with silver trim, skated to Lawrence of Arabia.
Very good speed going into and coming out of her opening
double axel. Also landed a double loop/double loop, that
is such a cool combo, double lutz/double toe, another double
lutz, another double jump and fell on a second double axel.
-
Kristina Von Haartman, 12th

She wore a dark lavender dress and smiled throughout the
program, even when she didn't do so well. She fell on a
triple Salchow. She landed a double loop/double loop
combination, singled a double axel, did a double jump `tano
style, and did a double jump/double loop combination.
