Terrace figure skaters win medals in Kitimat

Nearly 100 skaters from around the northwest attended the Cariboo North Central Region Championship

Nearly 100 skaters from around the northwest attended the Cariboo North Central Region Championship figure skating competition in Kitimat last month, and The Terrace Skating Club was there.

Hosted by Kitimat’s Snow Valley Skating Club the weekend of February 15-17, 2013, the competition rounded up skaters from Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake, Burns Lake, Smithers, Houston, Prince Rupert and Kitimat. It was a challenging competition but most of the Terrace Skaters came home with medals to show off.

Maya Lecuyer brought home four golds and Cricket Elliott came back with two silver and a bronze. Brianne Monsen came home with a silver medal and older sister Camryn Monsen took bronze.

Tristen Morgan earned a bronze medal and Nisha Nijjar came back with a gold and a bronze. Christine Heideman brought home a gold medal, Katherine Peters won two golds, and Hannah Jay brought home a gold. Julia Bowles won a gold, two silvers and a bronze, and Jorden Hendry won two gold medals, a silver and a bronze.

We congratulate all the skaters who entered into the competition, said Elaine Sanchez, media representative for the The Terrace Skating Club.

After competing in two competitions back to back, the skaters are looking forward to something a little more enjoyable and entertaining.

The Terrace Skating Club will wrap up the season after one last show, featuring all of the skaters performing their own choreographed routines to their favourite songs, March 15 starting at 5:30 p.m. in the old arena.
