Caroline Horwood '16 Honored by US Figure Skating


Sandwich High School senior, Caroline Horwood, has been honored by the Program Development Committee of U.S. Figure Skating!

The Graduating Seniors Program recognizes those student-athletes who have worked hard to pursue figure skating while maintaining their academics. While figure skating is not a traditional school sport, it requires the same dedication, perseverance and time management as any varsity sport. It is the goal of U.S. Figure Skating to help ensure these student-athletes are recognized for those skills.

There are four categories of recognition based on competition and test achievements in all disciplines of figure skating. Student-athletes are rewarded based on their highest level of achievement at either the Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze level. There is no cost for this program and the student-athletes apply online by March 1 of their senior year. Following the application review process, U.S. Figure Skating sends the student-athlete their awards certificate, congratulatory letter and lapel pin, while asking them to deliver these items to you for potential inclusion and bestowing at an awards presentation. This year, awards are being presented to over 600 student-athletes.

Caroline Horwood has been awarded the Gold level Graduating Seniors Award!

Congratulations, Caroline!
