Sectional meets are regional competitions where skaters from clubs across part of the province face others at their own level. The entry list shows 290 entries across 26 categories. The Pre-Novice women's field, Pre-Novice being one of the competitive levels skaters climb on the way to national events, was split into four groups.
Before the trip, the club posted photos of its Komoka-bound skaters wearing new Skate Oakville jackets and wished everyone competing good luck.
Another skater who calls Oakville's rinks home is on the ice in the United States this week. Carina Tanabe, who represents the Ann Arbor Skating Club in Michigan but trains full time in Oakville, is competing at the Midwestern Sectionals Championships in the Detroit area, according to Skate Oakville.
