Rachael Flatt

Rachael Flatt was a normal kid unital the age of four then she started fiure skating and it was a trill for her. She also did a short prograghn “sing sing sing” from the musical fosse and my friend lauren says “you rock Rachael”. Rachael Flatt won her second silver medal at the U.S. Championships and earned a spot on her first world championship team. A standout, straight-A student and high school senior, Rachael spent the summer of last year touring elite colleges, beginning her college applicatoins and working on her essays.

Following the 2009 Nationals, Dorothy Hamill became Flatt's mentor. Flatt says she was honored and excited to begin working with Hamill and thought "Holy cow! It is an honor just to know an Olympic champion!" Rachael has two old English Sheepdog, Lucy and Ethel, named after the "I Love Lucy" characters. Talk about a fan. The Flatt family is steeped in the sciences; Rachael's father is a biochemical engineer, and her mother is a molecular biologist. Her grandfather, Horace Flatt, was a national fencing champion.
