By "young'ins", I assume you mean the Juv-Novice skaters? I doubt any of them would be in consideration for JW, so I don't think the timing of their camp matters. The top 2 Novices at each Sectional are competing at Nats in Junior. Last year, it was a relatively small group invited to JW camp (and only singles skaters) - I think 6 men and 6 ladies? And it was the weekend after Nats, I think 2 or 3 days. It would be a lot for a skater to attend the JW camp and then go to 4CC (not to mention switching back and forth between Jr and Sr programs), so I'm hoping that skaters would be spared that.There were changes this season to preclude the young'ins from USN. They earn a spot at the camp after Championships week, as do the athletes in consideration for JW. I am just wondering if selection will be different?
I hope USFS will try to give as many skaters as possible a post-Nats assignment - if not 4CC or JW, then Challenge Cup or one of the other winter/spring comps.
