Senior Olivia M. headed to Synchronized Skating National Championship!

Senior Olivia M., who has used Foxcroft's Exceptional Proficiency Program to train for four years, earned a trip to the 2016 U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships Saturday when she and her Team Delaware Junior Team skated to victory at the Eastern Synchronized Skating Sectional Championships in Richmond, VA.

The national championship — Olivia's third with Team Delaware — will be held February 24-27, in Kalamazoo, MI. The team, coached by Megan O'Donnell and Wendy Deppe, consists of 17 girls from Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Team Delaware led a large field at Sectionals with an outstanding performance in its free skate Saturday and earned its best score ever — and the highest score among all three sectionals held in the United States over the weekend!

At Nationals, Olivia and her teammates will be one of 14 teams — four from each of the three U.S. sectionals and two from overseas. As with sectionals, the competition will consist of a short program and the long program, or "free skate."

Olivia will be very busy preparing. "Our practice schedule will increase," she said Monday. "Most likely I will be traveling to Delaware for practice every Wednesday and on the weekends."

Olivia can handle this schedule, along with the hours of individualized training she does at the Ice House in Ashburn, VA, and maintain her academic and community activities at Foxcroft because of the School's unique EP Program.
