The Cornell Figure Skating Club
encourages skaters of all levels to participate in both competitive and
recreational events, allowing them to continue skating through college and
remaining competitive.
The team aspect of collegiate competitions introduces a
dynamic element that is missing in the world of amateur figure skating-- by
competing in individual equally-weighted events (including freestyle, dance, and
team maneuvers) collegiate skaters earn points for their school. This is the
first opportunity many skaters have to be part of a team.
In its 12th year, the team is well-known in the Eastern
Conference, as well as on the national level. Consistently placing among the top
teams in the Eastern conference, Cornell won the National Intercollegiate title
in Denver, Colorado in 2003. The past two seasons, Cornell placed 4th in the
East, narrowly missing a spot at Nationals. With many new skaters, we are
expecting a stellar 2007-8 season!
