Two members of the Kelowna Skating Club represented the British Columbia and Yukon Team at the Canadian National Figure Skating Championships, held at Gatineau, Quebec last week.

Kelowna’s Calissa Adlem and Konstantina Lock both competed in the Junior Women’s division, having qualified through the Skate Canada Challenge in December.

Adlem, a seventeen-year-old Okanagan Mission SS student, opened with a 54.61-point short program, which left her in 4th place after the segment.  She followed with a 103.17-point free program, which included 4 different triple jumps rewarded with strong execution scores.  Her total score of 157.78 points was a personal best and landed her in 4th place overall, just 0.15 points shy of the podium.

Lock opened with a 14th place short program and 3 landed triple jumps in the free program to finish 13th overall with a score of 124.75 points.

Alberta’s Lia Cho won her second straight Canadian Junior Women’s crown with a Canadian record score of 199.6 points.
