Ashley Kopiec won the figure skating competition at the 2024 California State Games of America. She competed against 16 other skaters in the Excel Juvenile Plus category.

    The biennial Olympic-style games, held July 17-21 this year in San Diego, drew contestants in a wide variety of sports. The competitors were California athletes and State Games medal winners from thirty other states. Ashley qualified for the games by medaling (1st-3rd) in a registered state-game competition.

    A daughter of Steve and Mieko Kopiec, Ashley is spending her summer break at the International Skating Center of Connecticut rink in Simsbury where she practices a total of 8 hours over a 4-5 day week.

    A June graduate of Monument Mountain High School, this fall Ashley will begin a double major in the highly competitive fields of Mechanical Engineering and Software Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York.
