• Be enrolled in a fully-accredited secondary school, attend classes and carry the minimum number of credit hours necessary to be a full-time student.

• Must have competed in a U.S. Figure Skating qualifying competition at the novice, junior or senior level during the past two competitive seasons

The 2012 team was honored in January at the 2012 Prudential U.S. Figure Skating Championships in San Jose, Calif.
