Samantha David ...
Samantha David is a 16 year old junior in high school and has been skating for 13 years. She skated at the Junior level this past season and on the 2010 Northwest Pacific Junior Ladies event. This qualified her for her second Sectionals where she placed 8th overall. Some of the different states Samantha has traveled to for skating have been Wyoming, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Texas and Minnesota. When she was 13, she qualified for a Young International competition in Grindelwald, Switzerland where she placed 3rd. She currently trains at Ice Midwest every morning before school and also on Saturdays. Her mother, Wendy David, is her primary coach.
Her favorite part of skating is training for competition and competing because she loves seeing her hard work pay off. She also enjoys the friendships she has made throughout the years. She has been doing some coaching this past year which includes mostly stroking with skaters and working on their speed. At school, Samantha enjoys being involved with National Honors Society and Student Council. Outside of skating, Samantha enjoys being active in her Jewish youth group, hanging out with friends, traveling and playing with her dog, Chelsea. Samantha plans on skating at the Senior level during her Senior year of high school.
We are so proud of you! Good luck Sam.
