BROADMOOR SC CELEBRATES 75 YEARS Te Broadmoor Skating Club celebrated
its 75th anniversary Aug. 10‒11 in Colorado Springs, Colo., with a guest list that included Olympic, World and U.S. champions. Hayes Alan Jenkins, the 1956 Olympic
champion from Akron, Ohio, attended the gala at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort with his wife, Carol Heiss Jenkins, the 1960 Olympic titlist. Hayes, his younger brother, David Jenkins
(1960), and Peggy Fleming (1968) are the three Olympic champions from the Broadmoor SC. Te club has earned nine Olympic, 36 World and more than 200 U.S. medals. “It has been 61 years since I first arrived to train at the old Broadmoor World Are- na,” Hayes
said. “Te memories of the four
years I trained at the Broadmoor SC are still fresh and intense, as they coincided with the four years I held the World and U.S. titles, culminating in the Olympic gold in 1956. “Added to those memories is that my
younger brother, David, continued to train at the Broadmoor while succeeding me as U.S., World and 1960 Olympic champion. Te warm support and encouragement of the club added to
Jill Trenary, Christa Fassi and Caryn Kadavy
a positive training environment for both of us. While Carol did not train at the Broadmoor, her memories are equally as intense, as she won two of her five World titles at the Broadmoor World Arena as well as the U.S. Junior Championship.” Debbie Might, a 38-year member of the
Broadmoor SC, headed the event’s organizing committee. Might’s late father, Jack, was one of the club’s charter members and its longest-serv- ing president (1971-1984). “We had people fly in from more than 20 states and four countries (Canada, Mexico, Aus- tralia and England),” Might said. “I believe it was a memorable weekend for everyone.” Tose in attendance included Colleen O’Connor and Jim Millns, 1976 Olympic dance bronze medalists; Jill Trenary, 1990 World cham- pion; Andra McLaughlin Kelly, a U.S. World Team member who took over Sonja Henie’s spot in the Hollywood Ice Review; and her husband, “Red” Kelly, an eight-time Stanley Cup winner for the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs; Christa Fassi, wife of famed coach Car- lo Fassi who assisted in coaching his Olympic champions; Christopher Dean, 1984 Olympic
dance champion from Great Britain; Caryn Ka- davy, 1987 World bronze medalist; Judianne and Jerry Fotheringill, 1963–64 U.S. pairs champi- ons; and Sydne Vogel McKechnie, 1997 World Junior champion. Also taking part in the festivities were cur-
rent stars, including U.S. champion Max Aaron, 2012 U.S. pairs champions Caydee Denney and John Coughlin, 2010 U.S. champion and Olym- pian Rachael Flatt, World Junior champion Joshua Farris and two-time reigning U.S. bronze medalist Agnes Zawadzki. Te event kicked off with a dinner on Satur-
day night, where the Taylor-Gebler sculpture Transition, donated by friends, was unveiled. Christine Haigler Krall, a 1964 Olym- pian and longest-standing Broadmoor SC member, served as the evening’s emcee. Speeches were delivered by
Trenary,
Heiss-Jenkins on behalf of her brother-in-law, David Jenkins, and Hayes Jenkins. A 30-minute video recounting the rich history received ap- plause throughout from the appreciative crowd. On Sunday, there was a luncheon at the
U.S. Figure Skating Museum.
