Excerpts:
*Joshua Farris may never have finished higher than third in a U.S. Championship, but he looks more and more like the U.S. man to watch.
Highland Park’s Brown, sixth in the free skate and final standings (nearly 17 points behind Farris), finally had tried the first quad of his competitive career in the short program. That he made a hash of it was less important than the willingness to risk it, as the results of the free skate showed.
(Emphasis added re Hersh's support for Jason's quad attempt.)
