He then won the silver medal at the Sofia Cup in Sofia, Bulgaria. These two medals qualified him for the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final. At that event, Rippon won the gold medal, and became the first man to break 200 points at a Junior level competition.

He went on to the 2008 U.S. Championships, where he won the Junior title. [9] The Professional Skaters Association recognized Rippon as having the best men's free skate at the National Championships and was awarded the EDI Award.

[24] [25] Rippon said, "I kind of turned around to go into a jump and I think when Nan Song and I saw each other we both tried to avoid each other, but we went in the same way and we went head first into each other." [24] Rippon finished 4th at the event and 8th at the 2012 NHK Trophy. At the 2013 U.S. Championships, he landed three triple Axels and finished 5th. [26] He was assigned to the 2013 Four Continents but withdrew after sustaining an ankle injury on February 2, 2013. [27]
