Gold Medalists

Shannon Moran, a senior at Jamestown High School, and Mei Maxwell, a junior at JHS, passed their figure skating Gold/Senior Freeskate test earlier this month. Both skaters are members of the Jamestown Skating Club. Becoming a U.S. Figure Skating gold medalist is the culmination of many years of hard work and dedication to the sport. Passing skill tests presided over by official judges advances the skater to the next level. As a skater advances, the tests become more difficult. The highest achievement in each discipline is passing the senior, also called “gold,” test. When a skater passes a gold test, he or she earns the designation ”U.S. Figure Skating gold medalist.” Submitted photo
