Members of the Williams Lake Skating Club twirled and spun their ways to multiple top provincial finishes March 8-9 at the Skate Canada Super Series Finals.
The event, hosted at the Capital News Centre in Kelowna, played host to hundreds of athletes from around the province and is the final event of the season for skaters.
From Williams Lake Alanna Walters, Jade Johnson, Amanda Lane, Natalie Sylvain and Annalise Hunter-Owega participated in the meet.
Walters took away the top result from the WLSC, posting a second-place provincial finish to wrap up her season in the Star 5 division, competing in a field of 145 eligible skaters in the silver-medal effort.
Lane, also competing in another packed division, skated to a third-place overall finish in the Pre-Juvenile division. Hunter-Owega, meanwhile, earned silver for her Star 3 event.
WLSC head coach Joanne Macnair said she was thrilled with her skaters’ performances and results.
“Absolutely [I was impressed],” Macnair said, adding both Walters and Lane will be moving up a division for next year’s competitive season.
“It’s quite an accomplishment, and they [Walters and Lane] were both very good over the weekend.”
Additionally three skaters from the club — Walters, Lane and Johnson — were invited to join the Regional Development Team camp held on Easter weekend in Kelowna.
“You have to meet a certain quota to be invited to the provincial seminar,” Macnair said.
“It’s a very good weekend — lots of coaches and lots of good ideas, so it will be a great weekend for them.”
All three skaters achieved benchmark scores in their respective events to earn invites to the camp.
Coming up March 27 at 7 p.m. the WLSC is hosting a skating Showcase at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex featuring all the club’s skaters — from the youngest Canskate skater to the most senior skater.
The event is free and everyone from the public is invited to attend.
