Seven skaters travelled to Kelowna from March 1-4 for the Starskate Super Series final, the provincial championships for the STAR stream of skaters.

Coach Cynthia Medeiros travelled to Kelowna with skaters Bethany Kaberry, Olivia Baldo, Tessa Medeiros, Ava Galante, Olivia White, Sara Beam and Olivia Petersen.

The skaters all did a great job and there were many personal bests performances. Of note was Sara Beam who won gold in the Star 6/7 Dance event with a beautiful performance in both of her dances.

Olivia White was ranked silver in her Star2 Ladies Event and silver in her Introductory Interpretive Event.

Olivia Baldo was ranked gold in her Star 2 Ladies Event and silver in her Introductory Interpretive Event.

Tessa Medeiros was ranked bronze in her Introductory Interpretive Event that she skated on her 6th birthday.

Bethany Kaberry had a great seventh place result in the Star 4 13-and-over category, completing her axel in the event and receiving a three-point bonus. This was only the second time that Bethany had competed in this event so the seventh place result was a great success.

In the Silver Interpretive event Ava Galante finished fifth after some tense moments watching the event. Ava skated near the beginning of the event and sat in second place until the very last flight. Ava had a beautiful skate and the fifth place result was really great.

Olivia Petersen also had a great skate in the Star 5 event after falling ill the day before the event. Although the result was not what she had wanted she was successful in landing her double-loop jump for the first time in competition.

“It was a really nice trip and it was a pleasure to spend time with such a lovely group of girls,” said Medeiros.
