Good for her! I hope this helps her with her disappointment about not competing on the Grand Prix circuit -- I know I'd be on cloud nine!

I love it when skaters are recognized like this! Is she the first skater to win this honor? My memory with such statistics is terrible.

According to her USFSA bio, Michelle won this award in 1998.

It's awesome, and also great that UConn's Sue Bird received the award as well last night!

I just wanted to add my congratulations to Sarah. I'm thrilled for Sarah and also pleased to see skating get the recognition it deserves as a "sport."
