Hingham Figure Skater Preparing for U.S. Championships
Gretchen Donlan, a Boston University student, competes with her partner in the nationals in January.
Hingham resident Gretchen Donlan and her partner Andrew Speroff performed last Thursday at the TD Garden as part of a kick-off to the 100 days leading up to the 2014 Prudential U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
The Championships will be held on Jan. 5-12 at TD Garden and the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
Donlan began skating at age six because her older sister skated, according to her U.S. Figure Skating bio. She won the 2007 U.S. intermediate title and with Speroff were the 2012 U.S. pewter medalists.
Donlan's home club is the Skating Club of Boston. She is 19 years old and is a Class of 2016 student at Boston University.
Speroff is from Colorado Springs and now also skates in Boston. They began skating together in 2009. Their coaches are Bobby Martin and Carrie Wall.
Single-session tickets for the Championships are now on sale. Full event information is available at boston2014.com.
