Approximately 500 hundred young amateur figure skaters from Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama will compete for regional championship titles and also for the opportunity to continue on to national level competition. Michelle Kwan, Sasha Cohen, Evan Lysacek and Eastern Great Lakes skater Alyssa Czisny, the 2007 US senior ladies bronze medalist, all began their quests for national and international titles at US Figure Skating regional championships.
