US Nationals Senior Men's Preview

Jeremy Abbott is coming in as the reigning Champion, but this isn't going to be an easy event.  After skating a stellar Spy themed short program at Skate America, he had a nerve injury in his back during the free skate and struggled with his jumps.  Physical therapy got him in better shape for Trophee Eric Bompard but he hasn't been competing at the top of his game and has been limited in the training of his quad.  He's planning on playing it safe in Omaha and if he can land his jumps, he's one of the best skaters in the World.  His best performances of the season often come at nationals and he might be able to pull it off again here.  

Ross Miner has a higher international score than Jeremy Abbot this season.  The reigning Four Continents bronze medalist hit his first quad jump in competition at NHK Trophy en route to a bronze medal.  He is a great skater but seems to fly under the radar despite his solid and consistent finishes and this could be his breakout year.  If he skates clean and hits the quad he could upset Abbott for the title.  

Max Aaron has been tearing up the Senior B circuit this season and posted the highest qualifying scores by a 10 point margin.  He has a quad salchow + triple toe in a free skate and another planned quad salchow that he doubled at sectionals, so he still has room to improve in his scores.  He has great jumps and has been working on adding polish to his programs as well.  He wasn't happy with his 8th place finish last season in his senior debut and wants to prove that he belongs with the best.  His international scores were some of the highest of any US man this season, but Senior B's can be a little inconsistent in their scoring so this will be his first opportunity this season to see how he stands up to the rest of the pack.

One of the dark horses has to be Alexander Johnson.  He finished 15th at Nationals last season (also his highest finish as a senior) but had a stunning free skate.  He set the 2nd highest qualifying score this season.  He has a very interesting free skate lay out including a triple lutz + single loop + triple flip combination, two double axels and a double axel + triple toe.  It will be interesting to see what he does under the nationals spotlight, but he seems poised to make a big jump in the standings.

Richard Dornbush battled boot problems all last season and dropped to 13th place at nationals.  He's since solved the problem and has regained consistency on his triple axel and has been including quads.  He has a great style on the ice but hasn't been able to completely gain back the form and confidence that won him the silver medal in 2011.  His "Triple Dornbush" can't be missed; a triple lutz + triple toe performed with both arms overhead. 

Joshua Farris has had another outstanding Junior season, hitting the triple axel and a quad toe consistently to claim two gold medals at his JGP events and the silver at the Final.  He hasn't been able to put together the programs to make his mark nationally, and he faces the disadvantage of having to add time and elements to his programs and has had less mileage on them then the skaters who have been competing senior all season.  His place on the Junior Worlds team is likely secure regardless of his results here, but he could make a run for the podium and make USFSA consider giving him a senior competition invite.  

Keegan Messing is always a crowd favorite at nationals.  He is a skater who knows his strengths and structures his programs to take full advantage of them.  He has a wild abandon on the ice and goes for everything in his programs and is well known for his huge jumps.  He's always a threat as he has the technical skills and consistency to put himself in medal contention but if everyone skates clean, he doesn't have the program components to keep up.

Adam Rippon changed coaches in the off season but has yet to see that change pay off.  He finished 4th at Cup of China and 8th at NHK Trophy behind both Dornbush and Miner.  He's struggled with his triple axel for several seasons and his signature jump, the Rippon Lutz, has even been failing him at events.  While he was once the only skater in the world who could land it, Richard Dornbush and Gracie Gold are now including it in their programs and have put their own spin on it.  He has a big hurdle to overcome if he wants to make the World team again.

There was a lot of talk last season after Armin Mahbanoozadeh won the pewter medal at U.S. nationals but did not receive a spot on the Four Continents team.  He has been given several Senior B assignments this season and has been solid but not among the top men internationally this season.  

Stephen Carriere made big improvements last season to qualify for nationals for the first time since 2009 and finished 6th.  He could not quite match his international results at Sectionals but he has consistently scored over the 200 mark this season and should easily be able to make the top 10.

Jason Brown could not quite replicate his results from last season falling to 4th at the Junior Grand Prix Final.  He has been working on his triple axel and landed it clean for the first time at the Junior Grand Prix Final.  He's been scoring just under the 200 point mark and will need to pull his scores up to keep pace with the top senior men, but his spot at Junior Worlds is likely secure.
