The Starletts

What makes The Starletts special? Last year we came in last at the Eastern Regional in Atlanta. This year we won the silver medal at regionals in Providence. Also, we are often invited to showcase our routines at the Tony Kent Arena in South Dennis, Mass.

Team goals: We want to become an intermediate team next year.

What is the best part of being on a synchronized team? It's really great having other people around you with whom to share the same experiences – overcoming obstacles and embracing our successes. We all come from different schools in the lower Cape area, so it's nice to be able to get away from school and still have a whole group of friends that you care about.

What are some of your favorite memories? We placed first at the Cape Cod Classic in Bourne, Mass., and second at the Terry Connors Synchro Open in Stamford, Conn. To place second at regionals was a dream come true. Those were all very rewarding experiences.
