US Nationals Preview: Senior Ice Dance Competition

When projecting the results for Nationals, it is important to look at the skaters' results in the events leading up to Nationals. The teams included in this post are the competitors that have the best chance of medaling at Nationals. Below are the scores from the 2010 Senior Grand Prix Series. I will be making my predictions and fantasy choices based on these scores and some other extenuating factors in a post to come next week. But for now, here are the top scores among US ice dance teams for the short program, free skate, and overall totals.
