US Nationals: Novice Dance Preview
This should be a very tight event with the novice pewter medalists along with the Intermediate Champions and the 3rd-5th place finishers. The teams all scored within a few points of each other at Sectionals and with a new pattern dance being competed, it could be anyone's game.
Lewis and Bye have already had success at the novice level, winning the pewter medal at nationals last season. They set the pace at sectionals scoring seven points higher than the rest of the competition. They scored an impressive 25 points in the Blues Pattern Dance at sectionals, but that dance will not be competed at nationals. They have some breathing room, but they'll want to bring up their Starlight Waltz score and score well on their Paso if they want to take home the gold medal. They received a Level 4 on five of their six elements in the free dance at sectionals. They'll be just old enough to compete internationally next season and a gold or silver will likely get them a spot on the JGP.
Chadwick and Martin were extremely consistent across their events placing in the top 2 or 3 for all segments of the competition. Their Starlight Waltz was strong and on par with their Blues. They also had three Level 4 elements as well as one Level 3 in their free skate at Sectionals. They finished 8th at this event last season but this is their 5th consecutive nationals and that experience is likely to pay off.
Patsis and Johnson posted the highest Starlight Waltz score at Sectionals, giving them an advantage in the pattern dance. However, they did not cross the 50 point mark in their free dance at Sectionals and only received a Level 1 on their Diagonal Step Sequence. If they can pull up that level, they should have no problem making the podium.
The Becker siblings are a very young team but already have two nationals medals under their belt. They also train alongside several of the top junior ice dance teams in the country. They have a good Starlight Waltz score but struggled in the Blues at their sectional. They'll need a good Paso Doble score to keep them in the hunt. Their major weakness in their free dance at Sectionals was a Level 1 Circular Step Sequence which they could also improve to bring up their total score.
Feng and Ponomarenko are a very accomplished team. She also qualified for nationals as a novice lady and the team are trained by his parents who are three time Olympic medalists in Ice Dance. Their Cats free dance was the talk of sectionals but they received two Level 1 elements at that event.
Also in the hunt are Leonesio/Chambers, Gourianova/Petrov, Wren/Shchepetov and Berkovich/Jaffe.

U.S. Nationals Novice Dance Preview
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
Bios of the competitors:
Meara Lorello/William Dean: They represent the University of Delaware Figure Skating Club. They finished 14th in Juvenile in 2010 and are the 2011 Intermediate Champions. They won bronze at Eastern Sectionals to qualify for nationals.

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
