JANUARY 2018 UPDATE

Though we are only now settling into the academic term, DFSC has spent the last four weeks gearing up for our next qualifying competition. With MIT less than one week away, we are looking to perfect our programs and bring our A-game to Boston. From cheering each other on through each run-through to catching up with skaters who’ve been abroad to sharing the occasional 9 pm dinner after late-night practice sessions, we’ve spent the first half of term together on and off the ice. 

A perfect match! Jessie Anderson ’18 and Anna Staropoli ’19 share midday ice and a wardrobe at Wednesday’s practice.

Artistry on the ice AND on paper – DFCS’s own Regina Yan ’19 is the winning designer of Dartmouth’s 2018 winter carnival poster!

We’ve also welcomed a new skater to our family; Whitney Garden ’21 has recently joined the team after a skating hiatus and has been training hard at Thompson Arena. In addition to welcoming our ‘21s, we are looking forward to skating with some familiar faces this competition. Though they are currently enjoying their off-terms, Isabelle Blank ’19 and Honora Verdone ’20 will travel from New York and Wyoming to #skatesparkleshine at MIT! We can’t wait to see them and welcome the rest of our friends to cheer us on at MIT next weekend.

We are so grateful for the support of our friends and are so excited to keep you updated as the season progresses.
