Ice Skating....

The girls with their coach, Taylor
Posing with their medals.....

The Watertown Skaters


Kelsey brings home the gold!!



Courtney wins the gold medal in Compulsories!




The girls competed in Wahpeton, North Dakota today and did very well! Kelsey earned two first place medals and Courtney earned a first, second, and fourth place medal. It was the first time Courtney competed in the interpretive event. Kelsey chose not to compete in this event. During this event, a song is randomly chosen, all of the skaters get to hear the song twice and then have to individually skate to the song, while the others skaters are 'secluded' in the locker room. Courtney's song was "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," and she was the first skater on the ice for her group. She did a great job!! Courtney and Kelsey's friends, Hema and Saheli came from Minneapolis to watch them skate....it was a great day!





We are looking forward to our next competition in Alexandria on March 13th! It will be fun for the girls to perform in front of Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, and Uncles:)

We can't wait to see them! The interpretive skate sounds very interesting. It would be very fun to see what the girls would come up with. It's nice to have skating to take you through the days of winter. Have a good week at school. See you soon!
