Nicole Deitrick, 14, practices at Eagles Ice Arena on Nov. 8. She has qualified for the junior nationals in the intermediate division.

Nicole Deitrick, 14, and Kayleigh Elliott, 11, circled the ice, landing jumps and executing dizzying spins with ease. For spectators it was a brilliant figure skating performance. For the girls it was just another day of practice at Eagles Ice-A-Rena.

The two local figure skaters recently qualified for the U.S. Junior National Figure Skating Championships in Lansing, Mich., Dec. 10-14. Both are part of the Lilac City Figure Skating Club.  Cindy Hval, SR Full Story.
