At 15, Isabeau Levito delivered a dazzling, near-flawless performance to win her first women's national title.
Then she smiled, scratched her chin and requested,"just give me a minute."
"Skating at nationals again, I was giving myself a pep talk earlier in the mirror 'cause that's what I do," she said."I said to myself, 'You dreamed of this for an entire year, and now you're here,' and I told myself I wanted to go out there and I wanted to soak up every moment and be present, and I did that."
Starr Andrews, a fan favorite after she made her nationals debut on this San Jose ice five years ago at age 16, finished fourth at 188.24. She missed on her planned triple flip early in her routine and was visibly disappointed after a free skate that scored 119.27."I'm honestly so happy that I got a medal today. After I finished the program I thought I messed it up because I popped twice and I never pop," Andrews said."In practice I rotate and fall.
Josephine Lee, making her senior nationals debut and sitting 11th after the short program, skated beautifully in the free skate event for a 132.08 and total score of 187.68. She beamed afterward when hearing her score on a night she delivered a triple flip-double axel-double toe loop sequence that impressed the judges.
