In the free skate, the team out of Norwood, Massachusetts, showcased four Level 4 elements, including a Level 4 intersection with a Level 4 point of intersection during their performance to “What Was I Made For” by Billie Eilish. Despite finishing second on day two, a segment score of 118.88 and total score of 187.29 cemented their position on the top step of the podium. Fond du Lac Blades captured the silver, scoring 176.99 points in total.

In the free skate, Fond du Lac Blades’ remember me-themed program was awarded 111.45 points. The performance was highlighted by a Level 4 intersection with a Level 4 point of intersection as well as a Level 4 synchronized spin. Rounding out the podium and taking home bronze for the stars and stripes was Team Image out of Hackensack, New Jersey.
