The Haydenettes are the 2007 U.S. National Champions. By virtue
of their sixteen U.S. National titles, the Haydenettes are the most
successful U.S. Synchronized skating team in the 50+ year history of
the sport.
The Haydenettes are recognized for their team athleticism, difficult
footwork, innovative programs and their team speed. Lead by second
year head coach Saga Krantz, a former World Championship
Silver Medalist, the team and coaches are aiming for the World medal
podium. Recruited by Hayden, Krantz most recently coached for the
2005 World Silver Medalists the Rockettes of Helsinki, Finland. The
Haydenettes 2006-07 team is comprised of high school and college age
skater-athletes ranging in age from fifteen to twenty-two.
Synchronized Skating is the fourth figure skating discipline sponsored by U.S.
Figure Skating (USFS). 'Synchro' as the sport is known, is
attracting new fans and fast growth both internationally and in the
U.S. In the U.S. alone there are now more than 400 competitive teams. U. S. Figure Skating has identified
Synchro as the fastest growing part of competitive figure skating.
In Europe and Canada, Synchro is already a popular spectator sport. The growth and popularity of the
sport was underscored when the Haydenettes were awarded the 2004
Michelle Kwan Trophy by SKATING magazine as the most popular skaters
in the magazine's annual readers' poll, a first for a Synchronized team.
The Haydenettes have represented the U.S. in every World Championship since the International Skating Union
(ISU) sanctioned the sport as a World Championship event in 2000.
The Haydenettes have an impressive list of international
achievements including the Bronze medal in the 2005 Prague Cup and
the Silver medal in the 2004 Neuchatel Trophy in Switzerland. During
2003, the Haydenettes led a contingent of three teams to France where they won The
French Cup for the U.S. In addition, the United States contingent won The Nations
Cup, awarded to the highest scoring country in this competition,
this was the second time the team has achieved this distinction for
the U.S.
