Figure skating has been a high school sport in Wisconsin for six years. The Northern Edge, a co-op of Rhinelander and Tomahawk High schools was formed four years ago. There are four competitions a year and the points leader at the end of the year is state champion.
Last year the Northern Edge team won the class A title over the Appleton area team by one point on the final jump of the competition. Currently 38 states have high school figure skating and the national final competition is in Ohio this April.
