NORTH COAST SKATERS PLACE AT FIRST LOCAL MEET OF 2007-2008!
Two of our North Coast skaters competed at the Ohio Invitational short track meet at Winterhurst rink in Lakewood on Sun. Dec. 2, 2007. The first local meet of the 2007-2008 season provided an opportunity for our skaters to compete against not only other Ohio clubs, but a few skaters from Midland MI, Pittsburgh PA and a few other clubs from surrounding states who attended. A great time was had by all and some awesome skating was enjoyed. Congratulations go to both of our competing skaters who made us North Coasties really proud with some excellent skating.
George skated to an impressive overall 3rd place in the Pony Boys A division. Nice going, George!
Doris skated her 1st meet ever with an overall 5th place in a very tough Open Women division. Doris was the only novice skater in her division and skated an impressive debut meet, establishing some really good times to build on and showing some real determination. Keep up the good work, Doris - you had a fabulous first meet!
Complete meet results and times are available on the OSA webpage at www.ohiospeedskating.com. We encourage all of our skaters to consider skating the next local meet, which will be a two-day meet in January 2008 at the Cleveland Heights rink.
