[edit] Career
Halverson was the 2006 US Novice National Champion. In his junior debut, he won two bronze medals on the ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit. He went on to the 2007 Nationals and won the junior title. Halverson is the first men's skater since Evan Lysacek to win back-to-back novice and junior national titles.[1]
Until he placed tenth at the 2007 World Junior Figure Skating Championships, Halverson had never placed off the podium in a major event in his career.[2] He currently lives and trains in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Unlike most male skaters, Halverson can perform a Biellmann spin.
