You decide who will be named Youth Athlete of the Year, featured in a 3BRAND ad in Sports Illustrated, and take home $25,000
Daelyn has competed in both individual and on a synchronized skating team. This is a sport that blends grace, grit, and precision. She loves pushing her limits, performing under the spotlight, and the friendships built through every shared practice and competition. Skating is a year-round lifestyle that creates a second family—where skaters and parents grow together, united by passion and resilience.
Daelyn is inspired by her teammates, coaches, and individual skating friends who support each other through the highs and lows of the sport. Their shared dedication and resilience motivate her daily. She also looks up to professional skaters, both individual and synchronized whose passion, artistry, and determination have shaped her dreams and fueled her love for the ice.
One of the proudest moments was watching Daelyn, chosen by her coaches for her sportsmanship and leadership, accept the team’s medals at the Sectionals award ceremony, where they earned the title of Midwestern silver medalists last season. Her joy was contagious, and there were tears of pride knowing her kindness, authenticity, and dedication were recognized in such a meaningful way
