S KATER OF THE Q UARTER Every quarter, the newsletter will be featuring a new skater. This quarter’s skater is Katie Freter! Katie’s favorite jump is her double flip- double toe-loop combination. Her favorite spin is her layback spin into a haircutter. Katie’s favorite thing about skating is stepping onto fresh ice every morning and does what she loves the most, ice skating! Katie is excited about the upcoming competition season. She just finished her new program and she likes it a lot. Katie’s advice to other skaters during competition season is, “When I compete, I like to just have fun, it doesn’t matter if you fall, just get up and pretend it didn’t happen. Always try your best! Katie is a wonderful skater with an amazing work ethic. With passion for her craft she continues to progress toward new goals and is always excelling. Coach Camilla Katie is a great skater and a great role model and we would like to wish her good luck in competition season and good luck in her competitions in the pre-juvenile level!
