Young Chesterfield Skater Named to the 2026 Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships Sweeper Team

The St. Louis Sports Commission, the local organizing committee for the 2026 Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships, is pleased to announce the local skaters who have been selected to be ice sweeper volunteers at the Championships in January.

Sweepers are young skaters (aged 8-14) who will collect the stuffed animals and soft gifts thrown on the ice after a skater’s performance during the five-day event. More than 50 skaters from the St. Louis region were chosen for their skating ability, personality, and positive attitude. The volunteer sweeper positions are considered a privilege and honor for young skaters as they are able to share the ice with the best of the best on the biggest and brightest stage in figure skating.

Representing five regional skating clubs, the 2026 Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships Sweeper Team includes Chesterfield resident Alisa Mu, 11, from the Creve Coeur Figure Skating Club.

“Alisa is so excited and sees this as a great chance to learn from the best and be inspired to work even harder,” said Sherry Liang, Alisa’s mother.

The 2026 Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships features 180 athletes and attracts fans from across the nation. All-session, weekend, and single-session tickets for the championship-level events at Enterprise Center January 7-11, including Sunday’s Olympic Team announcement showcase event, are available to purchase at SkateStLouis2026.com.
