Continuing preparations for the upcoming 2025 OUA Figure Skating Championship, the University of Toronto Varsity Blues competed at the Brock Invitational on Monday (Feb. 3), winning overall gold at Canada Games Park in Thorold, Ont.

A triple gold-medalist on the day, Gabriella Guo claimed first in the Novice Short Program before joining partner Hugo Li to earn first in the Senior Pairs. Guo and Li were then joined by Victoria Bocknek and Lara Zeldovich for the Freeskate Fours where the U of T skaters also took first place. Adding to his medal haul, Li took second in the Men's Freeskate, while Bocknek also added another gold for Toronto in the Gold Freeskate. First-year Varsity Blue Megan Lamanna rounded out the U of T medalists, placing second in the Women's Star 10 event.
