COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Madison and Keiffer Hubbell, siblings who won U.S. ice dance titles at the juvenile, intermediate and junior levels, are ending their partnership.

Madison Hubbell will continue skating with a new partner, Zach Donohue. She says it was “hard” to end her 10-year career with her brother, but said Thursday she’s “re-energized and excited” about the change.

The Hubbells began skating together in 2002 and won their first U.S. title, at the juvenile level, the next year. They also won the intermediate crown in 2004, and were junior champions in 2008. They were fourth at this year’s U.S. figure skating championships, their third as seniors.
