The National Competition at Kettering held 14th/15th March 2020 attracted skaters from all over the country, Team Spectrum had fantastic performances with five of the eleven skaters performing at this level for the first time. Ten year old Jazzmyn Loring, who moved into Elementary category, gained a silver medal for her Carlos Tango and Denver Shuffle.
