U.S. Figure Skating Honors

10 Exceptional Scholar Athletes

at 2010 AT&T U.S. Figure Skating Championships

(1/22/10) - The 2010 U.S. Figure Skating Scholastic Honors Team comprises 10 of U.S. Figure Skating's brightest and most talented athletes who shine both on the ice and in the classroom. Every athlete in this year's class has been named to the honor roll, won academic honors and/or is an honor society member.

This year's team was honored today during an on-ice ceremony at the 2010 AT&T U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Spokane, Wash. The program, which started in 1996, was created by U.S. Figure Skating to recognize high school athletes who excel in their academic pursuits, in their community involvement and in the sport of figure skating. More than 1,100 skaters have applied for the scholarship since its inception, with 158 team members selected.

The award is available to U.S. Figure Skating members of all disciplines who are juniors or seniors at an accredited high school. They must be full-time students with a grade point average of 3.4 or higher and have competed at the novice, junior or senior level during the past two years. Candidates submit an application and an essay, which are reviewed by a panel
