This event should be extremely close as there are several teams that will be jostling for places on the podium. They will also be competing one of the same pattern dances that was performed at sectionals, but also a new pattern dance, which could dramatically change the scoring.
While Miller and MacMillan enter with the highest total score from sectionals, their entire advantage came from the Killian portion, which will not be competed at nationals. While this is a new team, they both have experience competing and winning at the national level.
Moore and Klaber set the highest free dance score from sectionals en route to their gold medal finish. This is their 5th consecutive nationals together and their second season as novices and that experience could really pay off as so many of these teams are new partnerships and new to the novice level.
Rosinksi and Jaffe finished just a point behind Moore and Klaber at Sectionals and set the highest Argentine Tango score, a dance which will be competed at nationals. They also train alongside Moore and Klaber everyday, so I expect that the competitive environment at home could push these two teams to the top.
Lewis and Bye are a very young team that are competing in their first novice season. They have a great shot at winning their first national medal here and could be an up and coming team to watch as they won't be eligible to compete internationally for three more years, giving them plenty of time to grow and develop.
My podium predictions:
Gold: Moore/Klaber
Silver: Miller/MacMillan
Bronze: Rosinski/Jaffe
Pewter: Lewis/Bye

U.S. Nationals Novice Pairs Preview
The novice pairs event often shows deep inequalities in the field. The technical requirements range from singles to doubles or triples and that can greatly affect the scores. Some teams will be doing single twists while others will be attempting doubles. Some teams can only manage single throws while others are working on their doubles. A lot of these teams are also very young and in new partnerships and learning pairs for the first time.
Top teams will be smarter about their programs. Novice competitors are only allowed a throw double in their short program, so they may attempt a throw double axel to maximize their points. They'll also be more secure in their lifts and be able to attempt one handed holds and changes of position. This will really set them apart from the teams that are just moving up to the novice level.
Three teams are returning to the novice level this season and that experience and time together should help them stay on top of the pack.
Fields and Pacini are the reigning Novice Pewter medalists. They won their sectional by 12 points and set themselves up as favorites in this event. Shaughnessy and Morgan finished right behind Fields and Pacini at last years nationals and won their sectional event by nearly 40 points. Liu and Perini won the silver medal at last years nationals and caught the attention of many with her tiny size and big attitude. She was so small that they had difficulty keeping her on the ice in the pair spin as the momentum lifted her up in the air. As she gets older and grows, they'll have to readjust their technique as elements that were simple before will become more challenging.
A new team on the scene that impressed at sectionals is Viola and Johnson. Alexander Johnson is a seasoned singles competitor, competing nationally at the senior level and internationally as a junior.
My podium predictions:
Gold: Fields/Pacini
Silver: Shaughnessy/Morgan
Bronze: Viola/Johnson
Pewter: Liu/Perini

Caitlin Yankowskas/John Coughlin skated to their first national title with a flawless and emotionally charged performance of Ave Maria, dedicated to his mother who passed away the year before.Alissa Czisny followed up her Grand Prix Final win with her second national title and showed that she was back as a top contender in the world.

Europeans
Sarah Meier won her first European title in her home country and retired on top.U.S. Nationals Novice Ladies Preview
Karen Chen blew the field away at both of her qualifying events cruising to two gold medals. She already has a national title under her belt from last season and is entering this event as the favorite. She has the two top scores of the qualifying season and could cruise to a victory of 10 points or more here at nationals if she can keep up the same level. She also showed a slight improvement between events and her scores were consistent which is extremely important at this level. She is also one of the youngest ladies in this event at only 12 years old.
Amber Glenn and Avery Kurtz flip flopped between events winning the silver and gold medals in their regional and sectional events. Glenn beat Kurtz by 13 points at regionals and Kurtz beat Glenn by 9 points at sectionals. Whoever skates clean will likely take the silver medal but I think they'll both wind up on the medal stand.
Madison Vinci and Brianna Laxson are training mates who also switched results throughout qualifying. Laxson had a less than 5 point lead over Vinci at regionals but Vinci took a 1 point lead over Laxson at sectionals. These two should be very close again and will likely be trying to hold off Selena Zhao for the final spot on the podium.

U.S. Nationals Novice Men's Preview
Vincent Zhou enters this event as the favorite after winning both of his qualifying events this season by comfortable margins. At just 11 years old, he already has one national championship to his name, winning the intermediate level last season. He has double axels and lots of triple jumps and while not everything is the prettiest, he is fairly consistent and sticks his landings. He has the top two scores of the season by a comfortable margin and should win this event solidly.
Here's the video of his winning performance at Junior Nationals last season.
Kevin Shum finished 2nd behind Zhou at both of his events last season and had consistent scoring between the two events. He lost points when he completed an illegal triple+triple combination in his short program at Sectionals but that technical prowess could give him an edge if he uses it correctly. He is also one of two skaters that made it to nationals at the novice level last season and that experience should allow him to better handle the pressure of skating in a larger event with bigger crowds.
The rest of the skaters are fairly evenly matched, and I think the whole event will be close, especially the race for the podium. Of the rest of the field, Tony Lu had the highest scores and was the most consistent between events so I give him a slight edge.
