Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier made history in more ways than one on Saturday night,
They became the first team in nine years to win the pairs’ title at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in their debut season, and they blew the previous U.S. Championships score records out of the water in the process.
Their free skate score of 150.64 bested the previous record of 146.01, and their 228.10 total toppled the 216.15 set last year.
