Sammie Levine enters her third season as an assistant coach in 2026-27. Levine joined the Miami synchronized skating staff after a decorated career as a RedHawk skater.

In Levine's second season on staff (2025-26), the Miami collegiate team captured its fifth-straight (and 24th overall) national title at the U.S. National Synchronized Skating Championships. The collegiate team posted a record-breaking score of 122.81 to win the national championship and earn its third first-place finish of the season. Miami's senior team represented Team USA at two international competitions (including a fourth-place finish in a 10-team field at the Britannia Cup) and brought home a bronze medal from the U.S. Championships to conclude the year.

In her first season as an assistant coach, Miami's collegiate team claimed first place at three consecutive events to end the year, culminating with the team's fourth straight (and 23rd overall) national title at the 2025 U.S. National Synchronized Skating Championships. Miami's senior team represented the United States as a member of Team USA at two international competitions and then capped the season with a silver medal at the U.S. Championships, as the RedHawks posted season-high scores in both the short and free programs at nationals.

Levine was a four-year member of the RedHawks’ senior team—completing her final campaign with the Red and White in 2023-24—and is a U.S. Figure Skating DREAM ambassador and captain.

During her time skating with the RedHawks, Levine helped Miami to silver medals at the 2022 and 2023 U.S. national championships and also berths to the ISU World Championships those same years, placing sixth each time. A three-year letterwinner with the RedHawks, Levine was named the senior team’s Senior of the Year in 2024, Outstanding Skater in 2023, and Team Spirit Award Winner in 2022. Additionally, Levine was part of Miami Athletics’ Champions 4Life Leadership Academy.

She has served as a mental training consultant and athlete ambassador with Denver Synchronicity for the past year and has been a figure skating coach with the Miami Skating Academy since August 2021. Levine earned an NFHS certification in the fundamentals of coaching and holds a U.S. Figure Skating Coaching Compliance certification.

Levine earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in coaching from Miami University in May 2024. She is pursuing a master’s degree in sport leadership and management with a concentration in sports psychology.
