Open Adult Coach Years with MID I have to think of the programs … this is year six. Years involved in synchro Fifteen? If you include the way-back-when precision. When we [Madison Icicles] did Mids at Intermediate. Did you skate synchro? For which team/s? The Madison Icicles at the time, and then UW–Madison. That was my main synchro; 2000–2004. Favorite synchro program of all time? I liked our Romeo and Juliet program that we did my senior year of college, so 2003–2004. And Team Elans’ program with the pretty pink dresses! What’s something you’re always saying to your skaters? Just do it again! It will work itself out.
