This weekend the combined forces of UMSST and UMFSC won the Maize and Blue Matchup, the intecollegiate freestyle competition that we host, and became Midwestern Intercollegiate champions for the season.  We earned a trip to Intercollegiate Nationals in Colorado in April.  We are extremely proud of all of our skaters who put out great performances that allowed us to soundly win the competition.  Good job everyone and good luck at nationals!  Go Blue!

This weekend we were competing at the Midwestern Synchronized Skating Sectional Championships and won the collegiate division!  We were glad to see all of our hard work pay off in the improved scores that we received for our program since Mid-America and Porter.  For now, it is back to the rink to continue our hard work going into Tri-States and Nationals!  Go Blue!

This weekend we competed at Mid-America and received third place!  I am extremely proud of our team for pulling through difficult circumstances leading up the competition and stepping up to the challenge.  We are psyched by the improvements that we have made since Porter and look forward to continuing to improve through the rest of the season.  Go Blue!

Congratulations to UM Figure Skating Team and the synchro skaters who competed at Miami University's Red Brick Classic and got a third place finish for the team!  The dedication of the team at this event was inspiring - everyone was incredibly supportive of each other and UMSST/UMFST definitely made up the largest cheering block.  It was a great start to a new season!

Welcome back for the new season! Our first performance will be at the Michigan vs Ferris State hockey game at Yost on October 28^th at 7:35 PM.  This is always an exciting event for the team since we get to perform for all of the Michigan fans at our home rink!
