TOP PERFORMER: SYNCHRONIZED SKATING
ERI LEE Chicago Figure Skating Club,
junior synchronized team
Lee is the highest-scoring synchronized skating athlete for the second year in a row. “S.T.A.R.S. has been a great program to help me identify how I can improve my abilities off ice to become a better skater on the ice. Especially being in a team sport, it really pushes me to become a stronger athlete and better myself and my team.” Lee’s long-term goals include becoming a triple gold medalist and competing on the senior level in synchronized skating. She loves tubing, hanging out at the lake house with friends and spending time with her teammates.
