CONGRATULATIONS!

The following skaters were recognized at our Winter Ice Show for passing their Senior Moves in the Field tests this year: Emma Briceland, Amanda Gemmiti, Aislyn DiRisio, Amie Skoda, Quinn Desiderio, and Maddie Olberg.

CONGRATULATIONS to sisters Stephanie and Christina Lombardi who recently both passed their Gold Ice Dance Tests.  According to the USFS, less than one percent of all skaters ever pass the highest level tests. These skaters have now passed the highest level tests in two skating disciplines: Moves in the Field and Dance. In addition, Christina and Stephanie both skate on the Achilles Edge Intermediate Synchronized Team, as well as competing individually in Freestyle skating events.
SENIOR TESTS PASSED - Christina Lombardi passed her Senior MIF test in March 2008; Ginny Mahoney passed her Adult Gold MIF in March 2008; and Olivia Serafini passed her Senior MIF in August 2008.

 
AFSC MEMBER PASSES SENIOR MOVES IN THE FIELD TEST

At the Spring Ice Show on March 29th, AFSC Test Chair Paulette Morgan presented Stephanie Lombardi with a certificate for passing her Senior Moves in the Field test.  Passing any USFS test represents many hours of practice, hard work, and dedication.  However, according to the USFS, only one percent of all skaters ever pass a Senior level test.  The Albany FSC congratulates Stephanie on this significant achievement and is proud to have her as a member.
