US Figure Skating posted the international assignments for the senior synchronized skating teams. The US will be well represented this spring in synchro-crazed Europe:
The Haydenettes and Evolution will kick off the international season at the Cup of Berlin, January 14-17.
The Crystallettes will get a chance to shine outside of the long shadow from the Haydenettes and Miami Synchro (is it five times in a row the Crystallettes have been 3rd while those teams battle for gold?) The Crystallates skate at the Prague Cup, the following week.
Then it's on the Rouen, France the first weekend of February. One of my favs, California Gold, will be there along with the Starlights. The Starlights just moved up to the senior level this year, causing a minor stir on synchro boards. The team never had an international assignment at the junior, so why the sudden assignment in the move up? Shouldn't they be a reserve team? Maybe it points to the growth and strenght of US Synchro... I don't know. Oooh, the gossip!
Western Michigan University will be the first to represent senior college teams when the Spring Cup goes to Sesto San Giovanni, Italy. That's a nice reward for winning the Midwestern Sectionals this year and coming onto the scene.
Finally, closing out the final international before the national and world championships is the original college team, and first varsity synchro team. The Miami RedHawks will be skating at the Neuchatal Trophy in Swtizerland.
Searching for music selections this evening. Not much is posted anywhere. I'll keep snooping.
