"We've actually drawn people from the state of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana [and] New York," said Roger Davis of the TGCFSC. "We have quite a few states here represented."
Houston's own Sophia LaMay, who just won the Novice Ladies Silver Medal at the U.S. National Championship, was one of many skaters hitting the ice.
"It's experience that matters in this competition," LaMay told abc13.com. "You practice your program in front of the judges and get the help from the scores that you get."
