Sean competed this weekend at a competition called Liberty in Aston, PA. Its the first time that he competed this season and had a pretty good showing.

At this competition there was a qualifying round which consisted of a short program and a long program (free skate) and the 2 placements in those would determine his final placement to qualify for the final round.

In the short program Sean placed 8th place.
In the long program Sean skated well and placed 6th place.
His combined score total placed him 7th overall, qualifying for the final round which was the top 10 (1st thru 10th place) to compete one more Long program.

In the Final round Sean placed 5th overall! Completing his goal to skate in the final round and make a placement in the top 6. Sean had a good showing and is very happy with the 5th place finish.

His next competition is the Silicon Valley Open in August.

Its that time of year where competition starts. Sean's first competition will be the 2009 Liberty Summer Competition in Aston, PA. Sean will be competing in a group of 18 for short and long program for a spot in the final round of the top 12 where they will re-skate their long program for their final mark. Sean has 2 new programs that he will be debuting. His short program is a tango which was choreographed by Himself and Karen Kwan Oppegard.
