She may have cut her hair because of the tour, for easiness of upkeep.
Don't know if anyone is aware of this summer comp for US and Canadian Novices:
From Skate Ontario website: http://www.skateontario.org/2018/05/...erican-series/
Skate Canada and U.S. Figure Skating will hold the 2018 North American Series for novice level athletes, in conjunction with:
Skate Milwaukee in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July 11-15, 2018;
Lake Placid Ice Dance Competition in Lake Placid, New York, July 24-27, 2018; and
Sectional Series GTSA Summer Skate in Toronto (North York), Ontario, August 16-19, 2018
This should be a good opportunity for our Novice skaters to get some competition experience.
So is Polina Edmonds gone? Seems like it.
Are Katie McBeath and Francesca Chierra still competing? I feel so awful for them Never a top 10 at nationals and they’ve been competing a long time.
I guess I ask because at US Classic in September there are usually 4 US girls and sometimes a “no name” gets a spot.
They're not on the international selection pool list anymore.
I don’t understand. What does that mean?
That is the list of skaters eligible for international assignments in the next season. People earn a spot on the list by achieving high scores in the previous season. However, if your performance goes down they take you off the list. So unless they knock it out or rh park this summer, I doubt they'll be given assignments next year.

… Maybe Brynne McIsaac since she has a popular coach? RAF could help her get to US Classic? ...

Hanna said she was still skating.
For 2017-18, Brynne's coach was Tom Z.
And TZ still is Brynne's coach, AFAIK?
Maybe you are just speculating as to what would happen if/if/if Brynne's coach were Raf instead of TZ??
(In any case, wishing Brynne a good season ahead. :yay
My own inclination is to assume that Polina is not "gone."
Some people did not expect her to compete at 2018 Nats at all, but her SP served (IMO) as a statement that she is not "gone."
I'm sorry that pain caused her to withdraw before the FS.
So I am interested to know more about frida's post in reply to klutzy. Sorry, but I can't think of who "Hanna" is?? As someone who would have knowledge of Polina?
I'm following Hannah Harrel on instagram. She's doing a Q&A. Someone asked her if Polina was still skating and she answered yes. I just assumed she was talking about Polina E.
Thx, Frida.
Although the possibility of Hanna H. had crossed my mind, I could not think of an obvious connection btwn her and Polina E.
But figure skating is a relatively small world. Appreciate that you shared Hanna's answer.
(FWIW, Dallas FSC does have a skater named Polina Letova, whom Hanna surely knows. I previously have wondered whether Polina L is related to Coach Letov.)
She was gone when she joined the sorority.
(One can't serve three masters: ice skating, university, sorority.)
Add in age and injury, and...
