Verducci Challenge Results

Pro Men:

  1. Michael Cheeks
  2. Jeremy Anderson
  3. Terence Allmond
  4. Jono Gorman
  5. Stephen Carter

Michael Cheeks skated tremendously well, the best I thought, he ever skated. He is fast. Pro men had a exceptional group of Men skating, besides the placements, Joey Mantia, Josh Woods, Kevin Gehman, William Bowen, Jimmy Blair, Jesse Blair, Chad Rigsby, and Chad Horne were some of the other finalists.

With a group of elite skaters like this, you know there was a lot of great skating going on. To say a rerun was ran to help Verducci was unfair. All the skaters were doing a lot of bumping and rubbing. It's a part of racing. I also heard some of the Pro men talking to each other after their races saying sorry about this and that and they didn't seem to have a problem with each other so why make comments . What happens in a race should stay in a race. If you didn't skate in Pro men than you have no idea what went on, no matter what it looks like.

 

Pro Women:
  1. Mandi Howard
  2. Brittany Bowe
  3. Amber Yarborough
  4. Jillian Rookard
  5. Mallory Pracale

Many Thanks!

I want to thank all the teams who supported this meet. Without each and every one of you guys, it wouldn't worked. THANK YOU!

Thanks to all the vendors, you make it pleasing for all the buyers and gave them a great assortment. Thanks to our rink owner for all his help, THANKS LOU, and thanks to all the skaters and parents who help before, during and after the meet.

With so many teams there it was exciting. Thanks to all the officials who did a tremendous job, one of the hardest jobs is making the calls. I thought our officials did a great job. Thanks Sherry for all your hard work. If I forgot some one, sorry, but thanks. Thanks to Kim and Stacey in checkin, Donna for tabulating, our place judges, Lisa for chief place judging, Maggie for Announcing and whoever for whatever.

- Mary Allmond
