Week 3: Photo Essay

I spent my weekend in Oxford, Ohio at the Goggin Ice Center on the Miami University campus. The ISI held a large national competition. My adult synchronized skating team placed 2nd as well as the young skaters on the production team. My photo essay shows the process of entering the rink, locker room rituals, performing, and placing 2nd.
