National Silver Medalists

UDFS captures another national medal!

This past weekend, 12 teams flocked to the Fred Rust Ice arena to compete at the 2019 U.S. Intercollegiate Championships. With one of the closest collegiate competitions in history, Delaware came away with 153 points and a national silver medal. Boston University posted 154 points for the gold and Adrian grabbed the bronze with 132.5 points. Dartmouth College and the University of California, Berkeley followed to round out the top five.

More history was made this weekend, as our very own Tony Lu (Class of 2022) landed the first ever triple axel in collegiate competition. “My first nationals was an amazing experience. I had a sense of family and teamwork that I couldn’t really find at my previous nationals. I didn’t have a whole team of 50+ skaters to back me up which really helped me perform to the best of my ability and to land the first triple axel in intercollegiate history which I’m very proud of. Maybe next season I’ll land the first quad in intercollegiate history.”

This concludes the 2018-2019 season!
