OXFORD, Ohio — Eleven RedHawk skaters earned 2023-24 Miami University synchronized skating annual awards with each team awarding an outstanding skater, senior of the year, rookie of the year, most improved skater and spirit award, in addition to the program's Karin Sherr Outstanding Student-Athlete Award.
The Karin Sherr Outstanding Student-Athlete Award was presented to senior Natalie Mispagel, a member of the RedHawk collegiate team. The Karin Sherr Outstanding Student-Athlete embodies a true commitment to excellence both on and off the ice. This student-athlete demonstrates excellence in the core values of Miami Varsity Synchronized Skating in their daily lives – it is "who they are," not just "what they do." This student-athlete is embracing the full collegiate experience and demonstrates continuous growth. It is an individual who displays great discipline, commitment, and passion in the core pillars of education: academics, athletics, community service, self development, team. This award is open to varsity synchronized skaters and is voted upon by all members of the program and program support staff.
In head coach Carla DeGirolamo and assistant coach Lee Ann Shoker's final season, the RedHawk collegiate team captured the program's 22nd collegiate national championship and a third-consecutive national title, breaking their own national collegiate record with a score of 117.04. The senior team won bronze at the national championships, and represented the United States as Team USA at two events during the regular season.
