Worlds Lit Up St. Louis!
ISI World Recreational Team Championships brought its usual excitement, camaraderie and FUN to the City of St. Peters Rec-Plex in St. Peters, Mo., July 22-27. Congrats to the Overall Team Champion and winner of the Michael Booker Trophy: City of St. Peters Rec-Plex, St. Peter, Fla.
Approximately 600 competitors from 42 rink teams in 16 skates (Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia) and three countries (China, Kuwait and the Philippines) competed in the 39thannual event, recognized as the largest recreational ice skating competition in the country.
“An exciting highlight of the week was the introduction of ISI’s Twizzle,” said Skating Programs and National Events Director Kim Hansen. “St. Peters Rec-Plex was super clean and well prepared for us, and it was convenient to have all events under one roof. The weather was beautiful, which made for a picture-perfect evening for our competitors’ pool party, where the skaters and parents had a fantastic time. Plus, it was convenient that the party was right on the St. Peters Rec-Plex complex.
“The ISI Benefit Show with Bradie Tennell was great, and she is sweet and engaging. Guest coach Denise Meyers, who led the skating clinics, was fantastic, and she had so much fun, she asked to keep the kids later than the allotted time.”
Next year’s ISI Worlds will take place July 20-25 at NSC Super Rink in Blaine, Minn. Test & entry deadline is May 1.
