The Aldergrove Skating Club hosted their second synchronized skating competition, the West Coast Challenge Synchro and Adult Competition, at the Aldergrove Credit Union Community Centre on February 9.
Child skaters, youth and adults from cities around the province gathered to compete for gold and cap off the skating season.
Four Aldergrove teams competed: the snowflakes in the Beginner category, the Elementary snow crystals, the Pre-Novice black ice and the Adult 2 ice spirits.
“Many skated their personal bests,” said Colleen Laferriere, the head coach of the the skating club whose taught over 40 seasons of the sport to skaters of all ages.
The Elementary snow crystals—all eight of them—took home gold for their spunky synchronized routine.
