'''Parker Blair Pennington''' (born September 13, 1984
==Personal life==
Pennington
In 2008, he began studying part-time at [[Baldwin-Wallace College]] while still competing.
==Career==
=== Early years ===
Pennington began skating at age three. He was coached by [[Carol Heiss Jenkins]] from 1992 through 2003.<ref name=USFS-PP/> For the majority of his career, he competed out of the Midwestern Section.
In 1995, Pennington won the national title on the Juvenile level. The next year, he won it on the Intermediate level. After failing to make it out of Sectionals in 1997 on the Novice level, he won the 1998 Novice national title. This earned him a trip to the [[Triglav Trophy]], his first international event. He won gold on the novice level.<ref name=ISU-PP/>
=== Junior career ===
Pennington was given his junior international debut in 1998 at an [[ISU Junior Grand Prix]] event in [[Sofia]], [[Bulgaria]], where he placed 4th, and then placed 9th in his second assignment, in [[China]]. Since the 1999 World Junior Championships were scheduled to be held before U.S. Nationals, he competed at a since-discontinued competition to determine the US team. He placed third and was sent to [[1999 World Junior Figure Skating Championships|Junior Worlds]], finishing 16th. At the 1999 Nationals, Pennington won the bronze medal on the junior level. In 1999, Pennington was given two Junior Grand Prix events and placed 5th at both. He then won his Sectionals and won the junior silver medal at Nationals. This earned him another trip to the Triglav Trophy, where he won gold on the junior level.<ref name=ISU-PP/>
In 2000, Pennington won both his Junior Grand Prix events and placed 6th at the Junior Grand Prix Final. At Nationals, he won the gold medal on the Junior level, making him the first and so far only man to win Nationals on all of the following levels: Juvenile, Intermediate, Novice, and Junior. Pennington was originally scheduled to compete internationally on the Junior Grand Prix in the 2001–02 season. However, following the [[September 11, 2001]] attacks, the [[USFSA]] withdrew all their skaters from the JGP. After placing 13th in his senior-level national debut, he won the junior gold medal at the [[Gardena Spring Trophy]].<ref name=ISU-PP/>
In the
He was coached by Diana Ronayne from 2003 through 2005.<ref name=USFS-PP/> He competed out of the Eastern Section in 2003, the only season he represented the [[Skating Club of New York]] in national competition. In 2003, Pennington won one Junior Grand Prix event and placed 6th at the other, missing qualification to the JGP Final. He withdrew from the 2004 Nationals due to injury.<ref name=CSG060108/>
=== 2004–2011 ===
For the 2004–05 season, Pennington was given his first senior international event, the [[Finlandia Trophy]], where he placed 8th. His 16th-place finish at Nationals did not earn him an international assignment for the 2005–06 Olympic season.
He was coached by Janet Champion in 2006.<ref name=USFS-PP/> His placement of 9th at the 2006 Nationals earned him a trip to the [[2006 Nebelhorn Trophy]], where he won the silver medal behind [[Tomáš Verner]]. Due to ISU rules, this medal did not earn Pennington a personal best score and did not put him on the list of seasonal best scores. That year at Nationals, Pennington placed 7th.<ref name=ISU-PP/>
In the summer of 2007, Pennington moved to [[Fairfax, Virginia]], to train under Audrey Weisiger. He changed his home club affiliation from the [[Broadmoor Skating Club]] to the Washington Skating Club and so competed out of the Eastern Section. Pennington was assigned to the [[2007 Finlandia Trophy]], where he won the silver medal, placing three points behind Verner and 16 points ahead of bronze medalist [[Kevin van der Perren]]. He won the silver medal at the Eastern Sectional Championships to qualify for the [[2008 U.S. Figure Skating Championships|2008 U.S. Championships]], where he placed 11th.
Pennington returned to Heiss Jenkins in 2008,<ref name=USFS-PP/> when he moved back to Cleveland. He practiced at the Cleveland Skating Club. He soon resigned from competing nationally, and instead, organized a series of shows called ''Skate Dance Dream''. He now is a coach at the Cleveland Skating Club while continuing to coach, choreograph, and direct Skate Dance Dream and the Cleveland Skating Club annual ice show. Both are annual performances. He also coaches the Cleveland Skating Club theatre on ice team.
