Meg Strickland

Age: 13

Level: Pre-preliminary

Favorite element: Flip and spiral sequences

Favorite skater: Michelle Kwan

Favorite memory: Landing a flip because it took a very long time, and it was very rewarding when I finally landed!

Why do you like skating? It’s a good thing to know how to do and it is very rewarding to master something. You are able to go at your own pace, too.

Fun fact: Outside of skating I have been dancing for 9 years, and I play tennis for my middle school. When I was learning to skate, I was holding hands with my dad, fell, hit my head, and never wanted to skate again — that was 7 years ago.
