Patrica Mansfield

I believe Patricia Mansfield is.

[mkcrazy02]

and Deanna Stellato, is she done or comeing back

Andrea as far as I know is still skating. She competed last year, but wasn't able to make it to Nationals. I believe she finished 6th in the short program at Midwestern Sectionals, but then had a very rough free skate and dropped further down. I'm guessing we'll see her show up sometime this summer in one of the summer club events and then do regionals and sectionals again.

I'm not sure about Aggeler, but it sounds like Mansfield is planning to compete next season. Vogel has been seen in New York, but I haven't heard whether she's actually planning to compete or if she's just there coaching or something. Quigley will definitely be competing in pairs (she's on the national team with Bert Cording); whether or not she competes in singles probably depends on how much time she wants to devote to pairs. Since she's not likely to do any better than she did last season in singles, IMO it would be wise of her to concentrate on pairs at this point.

Stellato has apparently retired. No one has heard anything from or about her since early 2001. I've picked up some buzz lately about a possible comeback, but it doesn't seem to be based in fact as far as I can tell--I haven't heard anything at all concrete, anyway. Anyone know if she's been spotted skating again?

I agree with Trillian that it probably would work better for Molly Quigley to just do pairs, even though she isn't a bad singles skater.....she doesn't seem to have the jumps, and Q/C gave a rather poor performance in the freeskate, probably partly due to Molly being exhausted from practicing and competing in singles also...

Although, at any rate, even if Molly did decide to compete at Mids this year in singles, I am not betting on her making it to nationals anyway. Here are the senior ladies we may see at Mids...

Andrea Gardiner (unless she gets Zagreb), Alissa Czisny, Amber Czisny, Katie Lee, Lindsey Weber, Anh Nguyen, Kelsey Drewel (not sure if she'll do Mids or East yet), Stacey Pensgen (unsure Mids or East), Andrea Aggeler, Heidi Pakkala, Angie Lien, Alexa Treichel, Tiffany Vise.........and possibly even AP McD again but I think she'll probably get a GP or Zagreb or something to give her a bye.

Sectionals is going to be really tough to get out of no matter which section you're in this year!

What about Colette Irvin. She passed her senior free recently according to skating Mag.

[Trillian]

Colette gave up competing last fall, supposedly because she wanted to concentrate on school. Interesting to hear that she's still testing, but I haven't heard that she'll be competing again.

I vaguely remember reading online a while back that Colette Irving had passed her senior freestyle test in the fall of 2001 *before* she retired. SKATING magazine is notoriously many months (up to almost a year?) behind in publishing USFSA test results! 8O

Getting back to Andrea Aggeler, her official website was recently designed:

Her schedule for the new season hasn't been updated yet, though.

Colette Irving, from what I know, passed her senior test and then quit.

And yes, Skating magazine is a least a few months behind with test results, but I believe it's only around 4 months back.
