The U.S. Collegiate Figure Skating Championships have never been a draw for the big names, though one or two recognizable names will pop up every year. Past champions include Alissa Czisny, Ryan Bradley, Nancy Kerrigan, Paul Wylie, and reigning men's champion Richard Dornbush. But this year's Collegiates is chock full of skaters you know. The men's event includes Dornbush, Max Aaron, Alexander Johnson, and Patrick Rupp, all of whom competed at Nationals last year.
