The Williams Lake Skating Club has been busy during the past few weeks attending back-to-back competitive meets — one in Aldergrove, the other in Kelowna.

Four of the club’s skaters — Kolbi Seterengen, Emma Penner, Ryanne Jones and Alanna Walters — attended the Jingle Blades competition Nov. 20-22 in Aldergrove.

Seterengen skated to a gold medal in the Star 3 Girls (group three) division, Penner took gold in Star 3 Girls (group five), Jones claimed gold in Star 3 (group five) and 10th in Pre-Intro Interpretive and Walters brought home a silver medal in the Junior Silver Women’s division and a bronze medal in the Silver Interpretive category.

At the Okanagan Interclub competition from Nov. 27-29 in Kelowna, the WLSC brought a contingent of 13 skaters.

WLSC head coach Joanne Macnair said all of the club’s skaters performed very well.

“[They were] busy competitions,” she said. “Some were in multiple events.

“[I was] very pleased with our first time competitors Bailey Jones, Haedyn Lens, Julia Bowman and Faith Ritchot.”

The club now has its sights set on training for the upcoming regional competition in Prince George from Jan. 22-24.
