UDel Show on Wednesday, August 28

For anyone in the Newark, Delaware area, there is a show at the Rust Arena at the University of Delaware, at 7 pm on Wednesday, August 28. Admission is free. This is the second such show, called something like An Evening of Championship Skating. The first one last summer was in memory of Jeff DiGregorio's mother who had recently passed away. I don't know who's skating, but presume many of the competitive training center skaters will perform.

Is there a cast list? I went to the UDFSC page and they had no mention of the show? :?

Their shows are usually advertised on the university's web site. Here is the article, but it doesn't have specific skaters listed either:

I would guess that some of the intermediate/novice level skaters will perform (maybe Kimmie Meisner, Anna Peng?). I'm not sure about higher level skaters. Maybe Johnny Weir? I do know that Scott & Dulebohn will not be there. I also know that Kate Slattery & Jon Harris (jr. level ice dancers) will skate.

If I find any information, I will post it here.

Some of the more prominent skaters who train at UDEL include:

Men- Shaun Rogers, Brad Griffies, Noah Abrahams, Johnny Weir (may be injured still)

Ladies- Sara Wheat (injury?), Andrea Varraux, Anna Peng, Katie Hadford (possibly injured?), Megan Stewart, Kimmie Meissner, Erika Smith, Christine Zukowski, Dirke Baker...

Pairs
Phibbs/Patrick
Scott/Dulebohn (who apparently won't skate at the show)
Don/Hunt
Varraux/Pelletier

Dance
Lobacheva/Averbukh
Gudina/Beletsky (not sure what's going on with them)
Goodwin/Obzansky

So I would guess that many of those skaters would be in the show. I have no inside info on this show, and don't know about anyone for sure.
