At the start of the season, Dauphin’s Breken Brezden set a goal of making it to the Skate Canada nationals in January. She fulfilled that goal after qualifying at the Skate Canada Challenge in Winnipeg, this past weekend.

Brezden was seventh after the short program and finished 10th after the free skate, thus earning a spot at the Canadian Tire National Skating Championships, Jan. 9 to 15 in Oshawa, Ont.

Of the 38 skaters competing in Winnipeg, the top 18 qualified for nationals and Brezden was the only skater representing Manitoba.
