Determaned b rebound front last year's disappoint- ing seventh-place finish at the junior syncbronized skating nationals, the Brampton Gold tee club - which meludes Milton sisters Alicis and Melissa Visconti - fortified its collective efforts earlier this month in Kitchener. Asti in domg so, the 20-member unit - in just their third year of existence -jumped up four spots to cap- ture bronze. Said 15-year-old Alicia, "I neyer cried so hard in my life.

"The new coaches really helped," added Melissa.
