The Great Neck Park District’s Synchro Teams, the Icettes (ages 10-12), Icicles (ages 8-9) and Ice Pops (ages 6-7), totaling 33 skaters, were awarded individual medals and team trophy’s. Overall, the Icettes and the Ice Pops came in second place and the Icicles won first place.
Head Coach Audra Smith; Team Manager/Assistant Coach Carole Liotti, Assistant Coach Claudia Sersanti and Assistant Coach Tracey Dolan couldn’t be prouder of the skaters.
