Founded in 2003 by Katherine Specht, the Cal Figure Skating Team represents the University of California, Berkeley in the National Intercollegiate Conference. Competing in the Pacific Coast Section, it is a student-run organization founded on the principles of competitive spirit and sportsmanship. The Cal Figure Skating Team practices at the Oakland Ice Center. In addition to being full time students and athletes, many members of the team are active in other clubs across campus. A diverse group of students, ranging from majoring in Architecture to Engineering to Business, Cal Figure Skating is composed of National and International competitors looking to promote collegiate skating across the country. Cal Figure Skating has qualified for the U.S. Intercollegiate Team Championships every year since 2011, and has placed in 2012 (Pewter), 2013 (Pewter), and 2015 (Pewter). Cal Figure Skating has won the title of Pacific Coast Sectional Champions in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
