“I think Katie and I really skated well together tonight. Of course, every time you skate out there you are together, but you are not always on the same plan. I think our minds were in the same place tonight. I felt very comfortable on the ice with her. I thought Katie was awesome.”
“It was like a deer in the headlights. There's just some days when you and your partner aren't clicking. For some reason, we had to fight through every element in a negative way.”
“We were devastated when it happened, but as soon as we could we made a positive out of a negative. We had more time to work on more things and new tricks and regroup.”
“The mental struggle started earlier this year when Katie broke her foot in the summer and we missed three months of training. It was a fight to be ready for the nationals.”
