Big congratulations to Madelyn Stilwell for passing senior moves in the field and earning her first Gold Medal!
Hours of time and years of hard work went into this amazing accomplishment.
When asked how does she feel about it Madelyn said it was a big relief to finally reach the Senior level and prove that all of her hard work and practice did pay off.

Good luck Madelyn! Heartland FSC is so proud of you!!!

TESTING CHANGES
Changes are as follows:
- Transition from the 6.0 scale to a mark on a -3 to +3 scale.
- Two new passing categories are added: “pass with honors” and “pass with distinction.” To earn honors or distinction, a majority of the panel must mark the test at that level or higher. For example, in a three-judge panel, if the results were pass, honors and distinction, the overall result would be honors.
- Three marks, elements, skating and program, are now being used for singles free skate, pairs and free dance tests. For pattern dance tests, the three marks are technique, timing and expression.
- The serious error restriction rules, which mandated a retry test result, is removed, allowing judges to use their judgment about the composite of the test while taking into account the prevalence and severity of error to determine the test result.
