Toni
Hello, my name is Toni and I am 16 years old.  I am currently a Novice
freestyle skater and working on my Senior Move-in-the-Field and
Junior Freestyle. In 2008 I competed in the Empire State Games and
placed 3rd in my flight, I also competed in the 2009 and 2010 Empires
State games.  This year I traveled to Florida for the Open Florida
Competition and New Jersey for the Moran Memorial Championships as
well as competing in Lake Placid at the North Atlantic Regional
Championships.  I truly enjoy working with the basic skill skaters. I
hope to participate in helping them grow and pursue their goals.

Kasandra
Hi! I am 15 years old and started skating with SLFSA when I was 5.  I
started in Basic 1 just like all of you.  In October this I year I was a
Ladies Intermediate Freestyle competitor at the North Atlantic
Regional Championships in Lake Placid as well as being a competitor in
the 2009 and 2010 Empire State Games.  In 2008 I received the
SLFSA President’s award.  I love to skate and have fun on the ice with
my friends and also work hard to land my jumps and perfect my spins.  
My favorite part about SLFSA is helping our Basic Skills skaters
learn new skills and pass to the next level.
