Career

Early in his career, Bartholomay skated with Erica Choi Smith and Meg Byrne.

Bartholomay teamed up with Felicia Zhang by May 2011.[2] They are coached by Jim Peterson and Lyndon Johnston at the Ice and Sports Complex in Ellenton, Florida.[3] In their first season, they were eighth at the U.S. Championships.

Zhang/Bartholomay won bronze at the 2013 U.S. Championships and were assigned to the 2013 Four Continents Championships where they placed fourth.

In the 2013–14 season, Zhang/Bartholomay received two Grand Prix assignments, the 2013 Skate America and 2013 Cup of China, finishing 7th and 6th. After winning the silver medal at the 2014 U.S. Championships, ahead of Caydee Denney / John Coughlin, they were named in the U.S. team to the Olympics and listed as first alternates for the World Championships. Zhang/Bartholomay finished 12th at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.[4] They were called up to replace the injured Denney/Coughlin at the 2014 World Championships.[5] They announced the end of their partnership on July 16, 2014.[6]
