3 busy Utah County ice skaters will be taking part in the 2023 US Collegiate Figure Skating Championships and Invitational in California in August. The 2-part competition offers an invitational and a championship to full-time college students.
Lauren Spilker and Eden Adams are students at Brigham Young University and Kylie Pattberg is a student at Utah Valley University. They skate with SK8 Utah at Peaks Ice Arena in Provo.
Adams will be competing in the Senior Excel division at the invitational. Being able to compete is such a high honor but also a lot of pressure, she said in an email interview. UVU skater Kylie Pattberg practices at Seven Peaks Ice Arena in Provo on July 14. She is preparing for the national collegiate figure skating championships. "When I was younger, I never thought I would get here at all, and now I'm going to Collegiate Nationals," she said. "It's just such an honor and I just can't wait to enjoy it."
"I will visually go through my program with the music in my ears and also practice calming activities to use for stressful competition days. In our sport, mental training is just as important as physical training," Adams said. "The adrenaline rush that you get when you do something like really good, it's like, 'Oh yeah, I did that,'" Pattberg said.
