Last weekend was silver and gold for the Quesnel Figure skating club skaters.

The club sent Alyssa Brown south to Winfield, just south of Kelowna, to compete at the Okanagan Interclub competition, where she took the top spot in Star 4 Girls.

Brown was pleased with her skate coming off the ice.

“I was really confident and I felt really happy with my skate,” she said.

Brown’s tricks were mostly gold rated from the judges, with just her axle and loop falling umder the golden grade.

Beverly Smetaniuk went west to Kitimat, where she compete in the Kla-how-ya Interclub competition, taking second in the Star 4 Ladies category.

Smetaniuk skated a clean session and was happy with her result.

“I felt good, because it’s one of the better skates I did,” she said.

Smetniuk took some risks in her skate adding spins that she had not landed in competition in the past. The risk, however paid off with a very clean skate.

Kayla Flanigan was scheduled to join Smetaniuk in Kitimat but had to pull out of the competition do to fluid on her knee.
