Spotlight on Skating with Orono Club by Marilyn Ransherry Five of our skaters have returned from Kingston, Ontario where they represented Orono Figure Skating Club at the Eastern Ontario Sectional Sectional Championships. In order to qualify for the first level of competition competition a skater must have passed their Second Figure, and their Junior Bronze Freeskate Tests and be twelve years of age or under as of July 1st. After this level, skaters must qualify by passing higher tests and meet the age limits imposed. The age limits prevent older skaters from holding back on passing tests in order to win-a fact skaters face at some competitions where skaters ' arc categorized by test only and not age. The top four competitors at each level qualify for .the Divisional Competition in Barrie in December. Winners at Divisional compete at the Canadian Championships. Although none of our' skaters reached the finals by placing in the top four; our club cotild be proud m of the performance turned in by each of them. . There were 38.clubs (out of over 90 in our .section) who had a representative at sectionals. There were 198 Competitors (some in more than tine event);. For a club with only only 12 senior skaters to have 5 qualify for-sectionals is a feat to be very proud of! ■ Congratulations to Our representatives; representatives; Andrea Burnham, Kristen Hamel, Ashley Burnham, Tanya Clemens, and Briar Ransberry.
