Tessa Hedges said. “It was an emotional experience for all of us. We really felt all sorts of emotions. Tere were a lot of people cheering us on. Te place- ment wasn’t exactly where we wanted to be, but we gave it our all and that’s all we could ask for.” Krantz, who has led the Haydenettes to four
consecutive World bronze medals (2010–2013) said the team will come back stronger next season. “Tis is not something we want to be stuck
with,” Krantz said. “We will start practicing as early as possible and we will be back.” Miami, the U.S. silver medalists, returned to
the World stage for the first time since 2013. Te RedHawks, of Oxford, Ohio, performed to “Te World is Ours” by Aloe Blacc and David Corey for their short program and placed ninth in that seg- ment.
“It can be very intimidating getting out there
in front of a huge crowd, lots of distractions and all those sort of things,” coach Carla DeGirolamo said. “Tey just went out there and did what they do every day, stayed focused and had energy from beginning to end.” “I think we skated with the joy and passion
that we really wanted to be here,” senior captain Jen- nifer Stewart said.
