Names have not been released yet. But from my chat with them in John Nicks, I know Carpenter/Maravilla are doing both NQS for Junior Pairs -- unless they decide to withdraw. They are not in the NQS Standings as yet so they need to do one or both of these events. Colorado used to have four teams when sched was first released, but now only one junior pair team.
There is a maximum of 8 available Junior Pairs spots at 2024 Nationals.Junior teams
Carpenter/Maravilla 102.36 (John Nicks IPC)

Moss/Galbavy* (eligible for the ISP in 2024-25 per Slovak federation release) 103.04 (Middle Atlantics)
Rivers/Rensing* (age-ineligible) 101.39 (Glacier Falls)
It's time to repost it
4 Novice teams - here are the known Novice teams - I've added Grohne/Lunt to this group because it seems pretty likely they're not competing up a level next week at Broadmoor and would be more likely to compete Novice. Guessing on the other 3 Novice teams - seems like the two PNW teams (Finkelstein/Williams and Lu/Lu) plus Kovar/Apter would be the most likely, but Tanner/Herbert could be traveling too.
I believe that is his son.
It seems more likely than not that Grohne/Lunt are going to wind up competing Novice this year - their scores from non-NQS Cup of Colorado fit right in almost all of the known novice field domestically. I think they stand a better chance of making it to Nationals as one of the 4 Novice teams rather than trying to move up to juniors before he's ready.

There's a team in Oakton that is supposed to be in novice, but they haven't surfaced yet. Am wondering if they'd compete this year. I think they are Michael Chappa/Baylen Taich

Yes, he is still coaching at Great Park Ice and that's why he has accompanied Liu/Nagy and Martins/Bedard to CS Autumn Classic.
Knierim/Frazier are scheduled to perform in the Scott Hamilton & Friends show in Nashville on November 19, 2023: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...mber-20-2022-nov-19-2023.109842/#post-6466529
Sure... and when was the last time Chelsea landed a SBS triple?

There are only a limited number of pairs internationals after Finlandia.
I think Hanns/Neudecker should have gotten Autumn Classic and Martins/Bedard Skate America but I guess they didn't have enough time and H/N weren't performing well to make that decision fast enough

I would like to know this also. I talked to Mark at the FOFS breakfast this past nationals (he was one of only 3 current skaters to show up) and I said "y'all please do not break up" and he promised not to but that doesn't mean they won't quit.Gosh I can't wait for Mcbeath/Parkman & Efimova/Mitrafanov
Also anyone know what is with Digerness/Sadusky?
Nothing on either of their IG since Nationals. He's a very nice young man.I did not know that. That is not good.
Kate Finster retired a bit ago. Last I heard Winter Deardorff was paired with Ryan Dodds and was skating for Australia, but I can only find one competition they entered. https://www.nswisa.com/ice/images/u..._Trophy/2022_Hollins_Trophy_Entry_List_v3.pdf
They, moreso Mark than Nica, regularly post on their IG stories, which disappear after 24 hours. They're still skating and I think they plan on competing this year - at least one recent IG story implied they would be, but they haven't turned up at any competition yet. I'm not prepared to write them off unless they don't compete at the local-for-them Broadmoor Fall Classic next weekend.I would like to know this also. I talked to Mark at the FOFS breakfast this past nationals (he was one of only 3 current skaters to show up) and I said "y'all please do not break up" and he promised not to but that doesn't mean they won't quit.
Pretty sure that Winter and Ryan split after that one competition together.
Oh thank you! I rarely catch IG stories, I hate that disappear after 24 hours thing.
Hope it's nothing serious for them...
Oh no..............................no..........no...
