| Megan Otto |
Hometown: Horsham, Pa.
Home club: Iceworld FSC
Skating level: Junior ladies, senior moves
Favorite skaters: Sasha Cohen and Michelle Kwan. They are always coming up with great programs and new elements. My favorite male skater is Timothy Goebel because he does so many extraordinary jumps.
How long I've been skating: 9 years
How often I skate: I skate five days a week for two hours a day with my coach, Kris Shakarjain.
Favorite jumps/moves: I like doing my triple loop and double Axel because they are hard, so it is always nice to land them. I also like to do double flips because it is my best jump.
What I like about skating: I like working on new jumps and landing them for the first time. I love hanging out with my friends from the rink and attending competitions.
Favorite skating moment: When I made second round at South Atlantic Regionals on the juvenile level.
Goals: To pass my senior moves and free right after South Atlantic Regionals.
What else you should know about me: I'm a 10th grade honors student. Someday I want to attend Princeton University and become an architect. After I pass my senior tests and compete at the senior level, I want to be a judge and help other skaters as other people helped me.
