Skaters Showcase Skills

On Mar. 11, the Figure Skating Team held their 4th Annual Exhibition Show. The show opened and closed with group numbers to Dua Lipa’s “Electricity” and “Don’t Start Now” with 17 individual programs in the middle. On the day of the show, the team arrived at 9:00 a.m. to learn the group numbers that were choreographed by coach Kelly Corcoran Smith ‘98 . They worked throughout the day, both on and off ice, to prepare for the 5:00 p.m. show. Right: Sam Tomczik ‘25 shows off a triple flip during his program to “Exogenesis: Symphony, pt. 3” by Muse. During November and December of the winter season, the team meets once a month to practice and take classes as a group. In January, they use this time to film team maneuvers and artistic free skates to send to the U.S. Figure Skating High School Cyber Challenge. To calculate a team score, the challenge adds up points from individual placements in the different categories. Last year, they took third out of 30 teams around the country in the Cyber Challenge.
