Revelstoke intermediate skaters Alexandra Robertson, Jaimie Reynolds, Alexis Larsen, Sophie Dorrius, Makenna Howe, and Cassidy Legebokow were also rewarded for solidly demonstrating their skating skills in both creative and elements categories. Of special note Cassidy was awarded gold for her Star 1 elements, Makenna received silver for her Star 2 elements, and Alexandra, Alexis and Sophie received bronze for their Star 2 elements.
