OGDEN — At first glance, Amalia and Mitchell Friess look like the average brother and sister; however, once they step onto the ice, their skill far exceeds their age.
Years of hard work have paid off for the siblings from Layton — they are on their way to Omaha, Neb., for the United States Figure Skating Association National Championships, to be held Jan. 19-27.
Wasatch Figure Skating Club President Betty Winters said local community members and figure skating fans can catch a glimpse of these possible future Olympians on Saturday, when Mitchell, 15, and Amalia, 12, showcase the routines they’ll take to nationals at the club’s 2012 Christmas Show at The Ice Sheet in Ogden.
