Skaters are anything but 'Basic'

Juliette Zielinski of Ludlow represented the Little Sun Valley Skating Club at Smithfield Figure Skating Club's annual Basic Sills Competition at the Smithfield, R.I. municipal rink.

She again found herself on the top step of the podium winning the gold medal for basic 8 compulsory moves and was the recipient of the silver medal for her basic 8 freestyle program. She is coached by Laura Kielb of Hampden.

Coach Kielb had a busy weekend, attending the annual Pittsfield Open figure skating competition with her student (and sister) Catherine Kielb, who once again found herself on the medals stand, winning the silver medal in both the preliminary freestyle and preliminary compulsory moves events. The competition was sponsored by the Pittsfield Figure Skating Club and held at the Boys and Girls Club of Pittsfield skating rink.

Congratulations go out to both skaters for their accomplishments.
