Description

Lois Secreto epitomized early ice skating in Pierce County by many people in that she showed talent as a youth and went on to success regionally and nationally. Secreto won the Northwest Juvenile Girls title in 1942, teamed with Jimmy Grogan in 1945 and won the Pacific Coast Junior Pairs Competition. She was also second in the Junior Girls event. In 1946, Secreto won the Northwest Novice Ladies title followed by the Northwest Senior title in 1947 and a second Pacific Coast Senior Ladies title in 1950. That win qualified her for the national championships where she tied for first place in the freestyle skating event. After graduating from Stadium High School, Secreto joined the Shipstads and Johnson Ice Follies.
