A familiar name will also be heading into this weekend looking for a podium spot after the free skate.

Jason Brown, the 2015 U.S. national champion, will go into Sunday with a third-place 89.02 after the short program.

Brown said on the NBC Sports broadcast he is hoping to compete in the 2026 Winter Games in Italy.

As the women's competition finished Friday night, Isabeau Levito, who held a narrow lead after the short program, attempted to unseat Glenn's place atop the podium and repeat as champion.

Levito fell three times during her free skate, however, and Glenn was able to claim her first title. Her previous highest finish at nationals was a silver medal in 2021.
