The 2009-10 USFS Team Envelopes, Please…

They posted the team envelopes for next season at the USFS website yesterday; since I don’t think there’s any copyright infringement on re-printing a list of names, here’s the list…

P.S. I don’t really have anything to say about these envelopes at this point except for some curiosity at Katrina Hacker’s appearance in Envelope C—I thought she was retiring from competitive skating to focus on school. May have to check that out a little further.

P.P.S. Is the “tier” thing new this year? Either way, I’m not sure of its purpose. It’s probably better explained at
this USFS link anyway.

Ooh! Excellent question. I wonder if an announcement is forthcoming about her future, or if she's going to turn up in the "reserve" team envelope. Neither one bodes particularly well for her though

:-(

If I hear something helpful I'll pass it on...
