NEWS RELEASE

***************************
Lake Superior Figure Skating Club pre-novice figure skater Yvonne Barnes competed this week at the Skate Ontario November Sectional Series figure skating competition in Richmond Hill, Ont., from Nov. 3 to 4, 2022. Barnes had successful results, placing first in group three and bringing home a gold medal.

Having already secured a spot for the upcoming Skate Ontario Sectional Championships, which will be held in Richmond Hill in December 2022, the November competition gave Barnes the opportunity to present some new and more difficult elements before a judge’s panel. This was an excellent training opportunity and helped Barnes and her coach, Kerry Bain, to plan for her next competition.

The Skate Ontario Sectional Championships is a qualifying event for Skate Canada Challenge. Challenge is a national competition which brings together the top skaters from across the country. Team Ontario Pre-Novice ladies will be made up of the top 16 skaters from the Sectional Championships. Challenge will be held in Regina, Sask., Jan. 25-28, 2023.

The Lake Superior Figure Skating Club board of directors is proud of Barnes, and we wish her a successful skating season.
