Personal life

Pate was born on May 11, 2000, in Cleveland, Ohio, to parents Jenny and David Pate. She has a younger brother, Gavin, who plays hockey at Eastern Michigan University. Pate is a graduate of Strongsville High School and currently attends Cuyahoga Community College. [1]

Pate began dating Logan Bye in December 2018, before becoming on-ice partners. [2] They became engaged in August 2022. [3]

Career

Early years

Pate began learning to skate at age five after attending an ice rink event with her Girl Scout troop. [4] By age 10, she was on the verge of quitting skating, with practice becoming a "daily grind." At the suggestion of coach Janet Wene, she switched to the recently formed solo ice dance competition circuit, which had been started the year earlier to create more opportunities for girls in the sport who lacked partners. Pate reached the national championship in solo dance for the first time in 2012, finishing sixth. [5] The following year, she placed fourth, winning the pewter medal. [6] Watching the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi inspired Pate to definitively choose to focus on ice dance over gymnastics, which she had also been participating in until that point. For the 2014 solo dance championship, she won the pattern dance competition and qualified to the juvenile free dance competition for the first time, finishing fourth. [5] [7]

In November 2015, Pate was referred to Marina Zoueva, the coach of Olympic dance champions Virtue/Moir and Davis/White. For the next three years, she split time between Cleveland and Zoueva's base in Canton, Michigan before moving to train full-time in 2018. In January 2019 she left Zoueva to train with Igor Shpilband in Novi, Michigan. [4]

2019–20 season

Pate had begun dating ice dancer Logan Bye in December 2018, and in June 2019, they decided to become an on-ice partnership. [2] [4] They were coached by Shpilband, Pasquale Camerlengo, Adrienne Lenda, and Natalia Deller in Novi, Michigan. [4]

Pate and Bye made their domestic debut at the Midwestern Sectional Dance Challenge, where they won the silver medal. [8] They went on to win the U.S. Ice Dance Final in Hyannis, Massachusetts. [9] This, in turn, qualified them for their debut at the 2020 U.S. Championships, where they finished in seventh place. [10]

2020–21 season

Due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, competition opportunities were limited both domestically and internationally for the 2020–21 season. Pate and Bye were assigned to make their Grand Prix debut at the 2020 Skate America in Las Vegas, attended primarily by American skaters due to travel restrictions pandemic. [11] They finished in seventh place. [12]

At the U.S. Championships later that season, they finished in seventh place as well. [12]

2021–22 season

With the resumption of a more normal international calendar, Pate and Bye made their season debut at the Lake Placid Ice Dance International, where they finished in fifth place. [12] They were assigned the U.S. Classic where they earned their first international bronze medal. Pate said of the occasion that "we have been training really hard every day and just being able to be out here and put out a clean skate makes me feel really proud of us." [13] Making their debut in the Challenger series, they finished in seventh place at the 2021 Warsaw Cup. [12] [14]

At the U.S. Championships, Pate and Bye finished in eighth place. [12]

2022–23 season

Pate and Bye began their season at the Lake Placid Ice Dance International, where they won the silver medal. [12] They were given two Challenger circuit assignments after that, first winning the silver medal at the 2022 U.S International Classic, held in Lake Placid. They set new personal bests in the process, with Bye adding that "we wanted to put out what we've been training, so I thought it went well." [15] They went on to win a second silver medal at the 2022 Nepela Memorial. [16] The team received their second ever Grand Prix assignment at the 2022 Grand Prix de France. Pate described her reaction to the news: "My mom called me, and she was like, ‘You're going to France!’ and I'm like, ‘that’s crazy!’ I was so excited." [14] They finished fifth at the event. [17] Pate and Bye were selected to compete in a third Challenger circuit assignment, the 2022 Golden Spin of Zagreb, where they earned a season's best free dance score and finished in fourth place. [18]

Concluding the season at the 2023 U.S. Championships, Pate and Bye finished eighth for the second consecutive year. [12]

They set new personal bests at the competition and won the gold medal. [12] This was the team's first international gold medal. [19] Given two assignments on the Grand Prix assignments, they finished sixth at the 2023 Skate Canada International [20] [21] and fourth at the 2023 Cup of China. [22]
