ISI West Coast Champs Rocked the Pacific Northwest!
ISI skaters rocked the Pacific Northwest at the 2020 ISI West Coast Championships Jan. 17-19 at Sprinker Recreation Center in T-Town — Tacoma, Wash., that is!
Almost 300 competitors from 15 rink teams, representing six states (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Texas and Washington), delivered 648 individual performances and 232 team performances for a total of 880 performances. Sprinker Recreation Center claimed the Overall Team Trophy, with 565.5 points.
“This event, hosted by Sprinker and run by the ISI National office and the amazing team of Jeff, Kim, Liz and Sandey, far exceeded my wildest dreams,” said Sprinker Recreation Center Skating Director Janice Teodoro-Forbes. “The assistance from Cindy Solberg as chief referee and assistant referee Candy Goodson made everything run smoothly and on time.
“I feel like this event gave a huge boost to this region. It was exciting for our local skaters to see the strong ISI programs from California, Texas, Alaska, Hawaii and Oregon support a national event. The excitement, energy and enthusiasm from everyone here was contagious.”
ISI Skating Programs and National Events Director Kim Hansen stated that the event ran on schedule all three days due to the fantastic help from volunteers.
“While we won’t be hosting an ISI West Coast Championships next year, we will be hosting ISI Winter Classic right around the same timeframe at Solar4America Ice in San Jose, Calif., and hope to see everyone there,” she said.
