Audio Package: UMD Figure Skating

I woke up at 5 a.m. to interview the UMD Figure Skating Club during one of their many morning practices. This audio story features the club president Sophia Nelson and freshman Elsa Peterson speaking about how the figure skating club feels overshadowed by the UMD boy’s Hockey team. These girls also detail why they have to wake up so early three times a week to skate.
