The Miami University collegiate synchronized skating team was honored by the state of Ohio with a Senate Resolution and a House Resolution congratulating the RedHawks on seizing their 14th overall and eighth consecutive national title in March at the U.S. National Synchronized Skating Championships in Worcester, Mass.

Head Coach Carla DeGirolamo along with assistant coaches Lee Ann Shoker and Katie Bowling and skaters Lauren McHenry, Ashley Malin and Jennifer Fontanella appeared in front of the Ohio House of Representatives on Tuesday, May 8. The Ohio Senate was out of session on Tuesday.

“This was a tremendous honor for our program and not something many people get to do,” said DeGirolamo. “They mentioned that we were only the second Miami University team to be brought in to receive resolutions from the state. It was a wonderful opportunity for our staff and some of our student-athletes to go to the state capital to be a part of this, and we are truly thankful to all of those who made this possible.”
