Skaters
Andrews and Anderson were three-time U.S. champions, winning titles in juvenile (2006), intermediate (2007) and novice (2009)...Announced the end of their partnership in May 2010.
Andrews started skating when she was 4 because her mom watched skating on TV a lot ... Participated in the Basic Skills Program for three years ... Has an older brother and a younger sister ... Father works in construction and mother is a school psychologist ... Attends Rushville Consolidated High School ... Hobbies include reading and knitting ... Favorite place to which she's traveled for skating is Grindlewald, Switzerland, because it was her first international competition and "it's such a beautiful place" ... Would want to be a dancer if she weren't a figure skater.
