Congratulations to Everett Silver Blades
Two teams from the Everett Silver Blades competed in the 2008 BC/YT Section Festival Synchro Skate held in Abbotsford, B.C., Canada this past weekend and took home two out of three medals! The Festival Pre-Juvenile team captured the gold and the Festival Pre-Novice team took the bronze.
“Both teams, skating their personal best, ended the season with their best results to date”, said Director and Coach Melani Young. “They all worked really hard and it showed; and we can’t wait to see what happens next season!”
Synchronized skating is group skating, consisting of eight to 20 skaters and is a discipline of figure skating. Synchro, which began approximately 50 years ago in the U.S., teaches skaters to work together as a team, while improving their individual skating skills. Synchro also provides skaters the opportunity to travel and compete at levels they might not otherwise qualify for as an individual skater.
