J.P. is signed up to compete in the National Age Group Championships this weekend in Green Bay, WI! He'll be skating in the Intermediate (17+) division.
I'll be attending the competition - it'll be nice to see him skate again!

It was great to see J.P. Kepka back on the ice! He competed in the National Age Class Championships in Green Bay, WI (March 16-18, 2012). He’s still GOT it - he finished second overall, made it into every Final, and WON the 500M, which was always his strongest race. Here are his results: 1500M - 2nd 500M - 1st 1000M - 2nd 3000M Superfinal - 6th BTW, J.P.’s wife, 2006 Short Track Olympian Caroline Hallisey-Kepka was there supporting him!  Intermediate Men's Division Overall Winners - L to R: J.P. Kepka (Silver); Adam Callister (Gold); Edwin Park (Bronze). Photo Credit: Jerry Search Tags: J.P. Kepka / Short Track Speedskating |
