Four SCORE members were among the group of 10 ice dancers and one coach from the Portland area at the 2007 U.S. Adult Figure Skating Championships in suburban Chicago, Illinois in April.  For 3 of the skaters it was their first trip to Adult Nationals, and 8 of the 10 had not competed in their event in previous years.

The week was a busy one with practices and everyone watching as many of each other's events as they could, plus getting together for lunch or dinner when possible.  The icing on the cake was the two golds, two silvers, and one bronze medal won by the five teams.

Teams included Lauren Zell and Mike Barsotti in Centennial, Julia Radlick and Jordan Johnson in Gold, Terri Levine and Tim Oligmueller in Pre-Gold, and in Silver, Shannon Conroy and Bill Cloran, and Marilu Campbell and Bob Raemer.  Coach Anthony Darnell worked with 4 of the 5 teams.

Some photos are on the Portland Ice Dance web site under the Competitive Teams link at the very top of the page.  More photos taken at the competition will be added to that site and to this one when the teams have time to make a selectiion.
