Local skaters pass USFS tests

A panel of certified figure skating judges administered tests in Freestyle, Moves in the Field, and Ice Dancing Saturday, Aug. 22 on Sun Valley Indoor Ice Rink.

Freestyle testing examines required competition elements, such as jumps, spins, and spirals. In singles events, skaters are ranked for competition by the highest Freestyle test passed. Ice Dancing is a separate figure skating discipline with separate testing rules.

Moves in the Field (MIF) is not a separate discipline, but most competitive skaters take MIF tests to evaluate their power, edge control, presentation, and general quality of movement on the ice.

The following local skaters passed USFS tests Aug. 22:

Freestyle

Meredith Pintler: Pre- Juvenile.

Moves in the Field

Ginna Freno-Sabatini: Adult Gold.

Caitlin Sholtis: Juvenile.

Cutthroat boys blank Filer 3-0 on road

Playing solid defense, The Community School boys made it two-for-two Tuesday with a solid 3-0 High Desert Soccer Conference road win over the Filer Wildcats.

"Man of the Match" Tom Crosby, the sophomore goalkeeper, kept the 'Cats off the board and got help from his goal-scoring mates Tony Martin, Wyatt Bunce and Zach Lindahl. It was the first varsity goal for Lindahl, a promising Cutthroat freshman.

The Cutthroats (2-0-0) hosted Gooding Thursday in another conference game. Then it's two more home games—Friday against the always-tough McCall-Donnelly Vandals, and Saturday, Aug. 29 against Canyon Ridge of Twin Falls.

Today's game starts shortly after 5:30 p.m. and Saturday's Canyon Ridge game at 1 p.m.

SV girls fall at Twin

Some people might have been surprised that the Filer Wildcats collected their first-ever win over The Community School girls Tuesday, by a 4-0 score after a close 1-0 lead at half. But probably not Cutthroat coach Kelly Feldman.

The Cutthroats had three close games with Filer last fall, winning 3-0, 2-0 and 4-1. Filer (10-7-1) placed third in the seven-team HDSC and just missed making a State 3A tourney trip—losing 3-0 to Teton in a state play-in in Pocatello.

Feldman's girls played Gooding Thursday and host McCall-Donnelly today, Friday at 4:30 p.m. at Sagewillow Farms in Elkhorn, then they entertain Canyon Ridge of Twin Falls Saturday, Aug. 29 at 1 p.m.
