Kimmie Meissner, current World Champion, won her first National title. It was really nice to be able to see this competition for the first time in years.



The first skater to compete in the long program quickly became my favorite. Her name is Alissa Czisny. She completely won me over! She won the bronze medal (third place). I look forward to seeing her skate again. She skated so beautifully and gracefully.
