Results: well, I ended up in 14th. Ouch. This was honestly a bit of a surprise, and if you look at the marks you can see they were all over the place. I got a 5th and an 8th, for goodness sake! I talked to my coach and he seemed to think it may have had something to do with the fact that this is my first competition so the judges don’t know who I am. Despite all the changes that have happened in the last few years, we still compete under the 6.0 system at sectionals and there are certainly politics involved to a certain extent. Oh well, I felt good with my skate and that’s all I can ask. Better luck next year?
