Troy Figure Skater Qualifies for Sectional Championships

Two figure skaters from the Onyx-Suburban Skating Academy in Rochester Hills qualified for the Midwestern Sectional Championships.  They will take place in Nov. 9-13 in Strongsville, OH. Sectionals are the qualifier for the U.S. National Championships. 

Jessica Pierce, age 13 and a student at Shelby Jr. High, won the Regional competition in the Juvenile level.

Michelle Chen, also 13, won the bronze medal in the Novice level. She attends Larson Middle School.

Both Pierce and Chen have been skating since age six. 

"This is a huge accomplishment for the Rochester club, which sent the largest number of skaters to the regional championship in the country," coach Lindsey Weber said.
