GOLD! GOLD! and more GOLD!
Mount Pearl surges to the forefront of Synchronized Skating in the province! On February 9th at the Provincial School Studio Festival of Synchronized Skating in Grand Falls-Windsor the Mount Pearl Skating Club captured 3 Gold Medals, 1 Silver and a Superb 4th Place finish for the Club’s newest and youngest team. Capturing Gold Medals were the Juvenile Starlites, the Novice Starlites and in the Masters Division the Classic Edges. The Junior Starlites captured a Silver and the Pre-Juvenile Starlites finished 4th just out of the medals.
The skaters in all divisions were the pride of the Mount Pearl Skating Club and a THANK YOU to the Coaches, Managers and other organizing volunteers on all the teams.

The synchronized program allows the skaters to sharpen their skills while enjoying the sport of skating in a team atmosphere. The program is supported by countless hours of volunteer efforts by many and the relentless dedication of skaters, parents and supporters. Without volunteers none of this would have been possible.
With the excitement of this year’s program still fresh in the minds of those involved plans are already underway for next year. The Club hopes to expand the program by encouraging more young skaters to join in the fun. Again this year a big thank you to Howie Wills, the Clubs Synchro coordinator...WAY TO GO MOUNT PEARL!!!!

Congratulations to Courtney Sweetapple who won the most artistic skater of the competition, and a big congratulations to all of our skaters who competed this weeked at the Avalon Regionals.

All skaters receiving a medal will represent the club at the 2008 World's Finest Chocolate Skate Canada Provincials which will be held at the Glacier February 29th - March 2nd.
