HAYDEN SYNCHRONIZED SKATING TEAMS COMPETE AT THANKSGIVING CLASSIC

The Lexettes and the Mini Mates, representing the Hayden Synchronized Skating Teams, competed in the 15th Annual Thanksgiving Synchronized Skating Classic competition on Saturday, November 12, 2011 at the John Armstrong Arena in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Lexettes participated in the junior division and the Mini Mates competed in the juvenile division.  

The Lexettes won the silver medal for both their long and short programs. They earned a total of 86.78 points for their long program skating to music from the movie Rio.  It was a spirited, crowd pleasing performance. The Lexettes wore their vivid blue competition dress which reflect the sparkle and spirit  of the Rio Carnival.  The Lexettes earned 43.98 points for their short program skated to the elegant and flowing Tosca Fantasy by Marton and Challe. 

The Mini Mates skated a beautiful juvenile program to selections from the movie Fame and placed second in a very competitive field earning the team a silver medal. Coached by Kendra Flanagan and Sam Mortimer, the Mini Mates have begun the 2011-2012 skating season with a flourish.

Both teams, along with additional teams from Hayden, will next compete at the Cape Cod Classic in Bourne, Massachusetts on December 9 and 10.
