Sun Valley Figure Skating Club members have earned special annual awards for outstanding skaters/volunteers.
Awards were based on the specified criteria during the time period of April 19, 2009 to April 10, 2010. Winners were:
Juvenile, Senior Level
The Judy Fuller Sportsmanship Award was awarded to Julia Broderick and Alexandra Harten, who tied with 59.5 hours of service to the club each. Julia and Alex always demonstrate good cheer and good sportsmanship, and they are good role models for the younger skaters.
The Herman Maricich Achievement Award was presented to Shayna Moellenburg. Shayna honored the SVFSC by winning Silver at the Novice level at the Regional Championships, thereby qualifying for competition at Sectionals. Shayna became the first SVFSC Ladies Freeskater to go to the Sectional Championships in many years.
Athletic Accomplishment awards: Nicole Pratt, who passed her USFS Gold Freeskate test in Moves in the Field; Alexandra Harten, who won the Bronze medal in Pre-Juvenile Freeskate at the Regional Championships Nonqualifying Competition; and Telar McClure, who passed her USFS Intermediate Freeskate Test.
NonTest, Pre-Juvenile Level
The Daisy Langley Junior Sportsmanship Award was presented to Caitlin Sholtis. Caitlin recently tested into Juvenile Freeskate, but she logged most of her hours at the Pre-Juvenile Freeskate level. She is also a good sportsmanship role model.
The Lolly Jensen Junior Achievement Award went to Abby Chase. Abby's devotion to skating motivated her to pass several Ice Dancing and Moves in the Field tests, and she was the only SVFSC skater to compete in a National level competition this year. Abby competed at the Junior National Championships with former partner Alex Sullivan. Abby's hard work and tireless practice included training in Seattle and Colorado Springs, as well as Sun Valley.
Sportsmanship Honorees included Kenny Pratt, who tied with Caitlin Sholtis by logging 25 hours of service to the club.
