Emily
Schrader is a 13-year-old skating at the Junior level from Nampa, Idaho
(near Boise), who began skating shortly before her 9th birthday, after
a few years in competitive gymnastics. She's been both an
alternate and a competitor at Junior Nationals, and last year as a
Novice won the Pacific Coast division in the USFSA's Future Champions
Series. She's also been selected to compete at the Gletscher Cup
in Switzerland as part of the USFSA's Young International program.
These accomplishments are particularly noteworthy as Emily has now
had a total of approximately three years of coaching, and very
little competition experience--she has yet to participate in even 25
events, although she has won many medals. In early 2004 she passed her
Senior Moves at age 12 and is excited about becoming a "gold medalist."
Emily pushes herself in every arena; although only 13, she is currently
getting straight A's in freshman-level classes at a rigorous
college prep high school. She trains between 20-25 hours a week at
the World Arena in Colorado Springs and is coached by National &
World coach Diana Ronayne and Olympic coach Kathy Casey. Her
programs are choreographed by Tom Dickson. Her family's expenses are
extraordinarily high as her training also includes ballet, modern
dance, Pilates and conditioning. Any financial support is greatly
