Eliot Halverson, Saint Paul native and reigning U.S. Junior Men’s Figure Skating Champion, is on track to have the best day ever.

At 8:30 p.m. tomorrow, Deputy Mayor Ann Mulholland will formally deliver the “Eliot Halverson Day” proclamation following Halverson’s performance in the Saint Paul Figure Skating Club Ice Show. Figure skating definitely isn’t my thing, but it’s certainly cool St. Paul, MN is home to an international champ at the age of 16.

According to his site, Halverson was born in Bogota, Colombia but was adopted by a St. Paul couple at 5 months. He started skating at 6 years old and went on to become a two-time national champion at the 2007 U.S. Championships in Spokane, Wash., after sweeping the short program and the free skate. He qualified for the World Junior Championships with the win and hopes to qualify for the Olympics someday soon.

Oh yeah, the site also tells us his favorite color is red, he reads the dictionary for fun and his favorite smell is that of a horse stable.

You can cheer on Halverson tomorrow at the Saint Paul Figure Skating Club Ice Show at Richfield Ice Arena.

And don’t forget to wish your family and friends a happy “Eliot Halverson Day” tomorrow.
