With some success as dance skaters, Dafoe and Bowden are probably still better remembered as pairs skaters. A young dance team. Paul was born in France. Isabelle was born in Canada. They were both raised in Canada and competed for same until they became dissatisfied with their progress. Feeling too restricted, they took advantage of Paul's dual citizenship and decided to compete for France in 1985, where success has brought them a rabid fan following. In the end, I find it totally irrelevant that they compete for France.

    Extractions: Amy got her nickname from her former co-workers. "When everyone heard I was doing this, they started calling me 'Wrecker Becker.' I was a human resources representative at a sportsplex, and I'd be walking down the hall and people would just walk up and block me! You're not prepared for that at another job!" But Amy was prepared for that in RollerJam. She started skating at roller rinks as a kid and eventually got into speed skating. She was in a race at Disney Celebration and got third overall in a 10k, but mostly she just skates for fun. "I chase bikers, just pick people out on the trail and try to keep up or pass them or see if they can catch me." Amy loves to play all kinds of sports, but she is not a spectator. "There are five kids in my family, and when football games were going on, we were usually out in the front yard. I have two brothers and two sisters, and I have a stepbrother. I am the fourth child, and I have two older brothers. We didn't play flag football when we were kids; it was all tackle. So growing up you had to learn to defend yourself. We had our own boxing gloves; we would box, we would play football and all kinds of sports. Sports have always been a part of my life." And it seems sports always will be. Her degree is in recreation, with a minor in coaching.

    Extractions: Amie Allnutt, a member of Redwood Artistic Club in Redwood City, is a Regional competitor in Sophomore Pairs with partner, Andy Minieri. Amie also competes freestyle events. A student at Del Mar High School in San Jose, Amie began skating only seven years ago when her mother started her in "star" (beginner) classes. She enjoys skating for the space and freedom she feels when she skates and for the opportunity it gives her to keep in shape while having fun. When not skating, Amie can be found hanging out with friends or participating in school activities. Logan Boggs Antoine Brooks, a coach at Redwood Artistic Club in Redwood City, has been skating for "years," although, he declines to say just how many. During his competitive career, he made finals at Regionals and at Gold Skate Classics with his splashy jumping style. In addition to Artistic skating, Antoine played professional roller hockey with the Sacramento River Rats, and still plays for enjoyment and coaches. He also has started coaching Artistic skaters at Santa Clara. He is drawn to the concentration skating requires and to the challenge. He enjoys pushing the limits. When not on skates, Antoine can be found on a softball field, playing basketball or snowboarding - if it's a sport, he's probably into it.
