Medals for Newfoundland skaters at Atlantics

Newfoundland skaters are blushing a proud colour these days and the colour is BRONZE. Roger White (Snowflake FSC, Goose Bay), Stefan Dean and Carla Montgomery (St.John's FSC / Mariposa FSC, Barrie Ontario) are the proud recipients of bronze medals in pre-novice men and novice pairs respectively at the Atlantic Canadian Figure Skating Championships which concluded this weekend in St. Foye, Quebec.

White skated to the 3rd place finish out of 10 competitors, with 1, 2, 4 and 5 spots going to Quebec skaters.

Dean and Montgomery finished just behind their training mates Kayla Gerrity / Jarvis Uetou (Mariposa FSC, Barrie, Ontario / St. Margaret's FSC, St. Margaret's Bay, NS) who represent Nova Scotia and who finished in 2nd spot. First and fourth places which went to Quebec pairs. Dean and Montgomery train with Doug and Michelle Leigh and their staff of coaches at the Mariposa Club, training ground for Elvis Stojko, Jennifer Robinson, Steven Cousins, Michelle Menzies and Jean-Michel Bombardier.

Dean and Montgomery will skate for Newfoundland at the Bank of Montreal Canadians in Hamilton on January 5-11, 1998.
