Photo by Wendy Nelson/Blue Fox Photography Part of being a champion is being a good team player. When SKATING magazine asked the 2012 U.S. champions to get all duded up for this Western-themed picture, they cheer- fully obliged. We’re pretty certain (clockwise from top left) that John Coughlin, Caydee Denney, Jeremy Abbott, Charlie White, Meryl Davis and Ashley Wagner have never roped a calf or busted a wild bronco, but they sure look the part. One thing we do know is that good guys wear white hats. As part of SKATING’s special U.S. Championships coverage, don’t miss the poster-worthy picture on page 28. Event preview cover- age begins on page 22.
