Skaters gear up for Pacific StarSkate
By The Nelson Daily Sports
Nelson Figure Skating club skaters are busy refining the routines to compete in the upcoming Pacific StarSkate Championships in Cranbrook.
The Heritage City club is sending a handful of skaters to the Cranbrook, including nine-year-old Sophie Borhi.
Borhi recently had a chance to skate her routine in front of a large crowd at the Nelson Leafs KIJHL Playoff game against the Beaver Valley Nitehawks.
Borhi took the silver medal in the preliminary freeskate at the recent competition in Beaver Valley, which has qualified her to skate at the Pacific StarSkate.
Last month at the Ogopogo Free Skate Competition in Penticton that drew 230 skaters from B.C., Alberta and Washington State, Borhi placed second in her category.
Other skaters heading to Cranbrook include Morgan Sabo and Erica Tolles.
The Nelson Figure Skating Club executive would like to remind the public that the deadline to register for Spring CanSkate is March 21.
The spring program begins March 28 at the NDCC Arena.
