[what?meworry?]

Since pairs is my favorite discipline, I am very excited to see a new team coming into the senior ranks for the U.S. :mrgreen: and these two seem to have the real desire to make it work. 8-)

[Trillian]

Count me as one thrilled for these two that they were able to find each other. I've gotten the impression that both have showed a lot of tenacity in their previous partnerships, so hopefully this one turns out to be the perfect match they've been looking for.

How old are these two?

[Sylvia]

She's 26, he'll be 26 in May. Here's the direct link to the USFSA article:

[Proudmom]

What about Steve Hartsell? Has he found a partner yet?

[WeBeEducated]

yes, you are forgetting the new team of Jessica Miller and her partner(cant remeber the name) but I think he is from Canada. I have heard they look "amazing" and "awesome". Her mom , Stephanie Miller,is the coach of Junior men's Siver medalist, Jordan Brauniger, and her mom also was the coach of Cole Davis and Samantha Skavdahl.

[Kyskateman]

Jessica Miller's partner is Ian Moram. Ian and his former partner were 5th at Canadian National two years past. They also finished ahead of the Hartzell's at Skate Canada that year. Jessica and Ian are looking very,very good and extremely mature for a new pair.

Kyskateman,

Will Jessica be skating for the US or Canada?

[Kyskateman]

Jkl-->Will Jessica and Ian be skating for the USA or Canada?<
There are several factors out of their control that will determine the answer to that question. Those questions will be answered at the May USFSA meeting.
