To cap off the month of February, Miami’s Synchronized Skating team competed on the national stage at the U.S. National Championships in Rockford, IL. The group of 52 athletes split among three teams represented Miami in the Collegiate and Senior divisions of the competition. Teams compete in either long or short programs within the divisions, and these programs differ by duration and number of required elements.
This competition is the pinnacle of the season where the team can showcase their talent against the nation’s best. Throughout the season, which runs essentially all year, the teams train both on ice and in the gym to perfect their routines.
