Several members of the Neepawa Figure Skating Club earned a place on the podium at the 2016 Skate Canada Manitoba Synchronized Skating Championship.

 The event, hosted by the Carberry Figure Skating Club in January, featured the top synchronized teams from across the province. For Neepawa, a pair of its club teams finished with a medal.  The Lil’ Ice Prec*Ice  won a silver medal in the Beginner One category.  Meanwhile, in the Juvenile One competition, the Ice Prec*Ice team also earned a silver medal. Both those groups are coached by Cynthia Chartrand. 

Kelsey Ellis, from Neepawa, also won a medal skating on Carberry’s Energ*Ice Pre-Novice team.  They won gold in the Pre-Novice event.  That team also recently competed in the 2016 Prairie Regional Synchro competition in Killarney and won the silver medal. They are coached by Megan Sprung.
