NOVI — Novice ice dancers Cooper Cornwell, 16, and Jasmine Robertson, 15, claimed their second national title Jan. 24 when they competed in the 2024 Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Columbus, Ohio. Cornwell and Robertson qualified for the event by winning the 2024 U.S. Ice Dance finals in November. The two have been skating together since May and are undefeated this season.

“I’m proud of our team and all that we’ve achieved so far. Jasmine and I couldn’t have asked for a better season,” Cornwall said.

“I am incredibly happy with the outcome and the things we have accomplished this season,” Robertson concurred.

After winning the competition, the pair was given their first sponsorship with Graf, a skate boot manufacturer.
