Pickerel Bay’s, Aileen Colligan, recently won a Gold Medal in figure skating at the 2015 New York State Winter Games.
Competing in the pre-juvenile figure skating division on Feb. 6th, at the prestigious 2015 New York State “Winter Games” in Lake Placid, Pickerel Bay’s, Aileen Colligan amazed the judges and her viewers with an outstanding performance that took the gold medal.
Aileen is the daughter of John and Beth Colligan of Troy, New York. She also participated in the opening ceremonies at the Games with her synchronized skating team. Aileen, who has been an ardent competitor of ice skating for 6 years, is a firm believer that “practice makes perfect.”
Aileen was also quick to add that she attributes her skating successes to date to two very important attributes, namely “Outstanding Coaching” and “Supportive Parents.” The Colligan’s are members of the Pickerel Bay Association here on the Landing, and John is a member of the Huletts Landing Volunteer Fire Department.
Congratulations Aileen!
