Thanks, mittel - I just saw your post on another site this evening. If any of the new names are skating in Group 1 we'll be adding some new threads here at BB! I'd love to go to Saratoga Springs for a competition sometime - it's an area of the country I've never visited. Good luck to all the skaters!

This event is underway in NY - USS has posted a link to LIVE results. I'm not seeing any results yet, but maybe they'll be posting them after each round is over. I do see heat lineups for the Men's & Ladies 1500M distance. Here's the link: results.wrandco.com/(You need to click the drop-down menu, then you'll see the AmCup as one of your choices) You WILL see a lot of familiar Boots & Blades skaters in this competition!

There will be a final results link eventually, and I'll do a summary of each skater's performance - but here's the Top 5 Ladies & Men (thanks again to Alison): Top 5 ladies: April Shin, Kimberly Goetz, Katy Ralston, Lexi Burkholder, Brittany Salmon Top 5 men: Keith Carroll, Cole Krueger, Adam Callister, Jake Powers, Robert Lawrence Look for new skater threads soon - there were prolly a dozen AmCup first-timers, and some of them will be our future Olympians. Which ones will they be? A few of them are already on our 'radar' (see the Future Stars thread) - we're pleased to start Official threads for them!
