The Great Neck Park District and Great Neck Figure Skating Club could not be more proud of North High School senior, Hallie Roth Singer, who earned a gold medal earlier this month at the 2015 United States Synchronized Skating Championships in Providence, Rhode Island.
Her nationally ranked team, Skyliners Junior, competed with thirteen outstanding teams from all over the United States, winning the national championship. In addition, her performance prompted the U.S. Figure Skating Association (USFS, the national governing body for figure skating in the United States), to designate Skyliners Junior as Team USA in the Junior Worlds Championship, which took place March 13 & 14 in Zagreb, Croatia. This was Hallie’s first trip to a world competition. Her team finished sixth out of twenty-four international competitors. Hallie is a Great Neck Park District Skate School Junior Coach at the Andrew Steriopolous Skating Rink and has skated competitively with Skyliners for five years. Other international competitions for Hallie and her team include the French Cup in Rouen, France.
Great Neck Park District skaters Brooke Cenname, Olivia Kegel, Alyssa Politoski and Tracy Wang, who skate on the Skyliners Juvenile line, took home the silver medal at National Championships this month and won a Gold medal at the Eastern Sectional Synchronized Skating Championships in Lake Placid in January.
Synchronized Skating is the fastest growing aspect of competitive figure skating. Hopefully, we will see synchronized skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
