Personal life

Kaitlin Hawayek was born in Buffalo, New York.[2] Before moving to Detroit, she attended Nardin Academy High School. She is interested in neuroscience.[3] Her two brothers play ice hockey.[3]

Career

Early career

Hawayek was introduced to ice skating by her mother.[3] She was initially a single skater and represented the Skating Club of Western New York in her early career, coached by Janice Smith and Jessica Lauria. After switching to ice dancing, she teamed up with Michael Bramante in June 2010.[4] They won the novice bronze medal at the 2011 U.S. Championships. The following season, Hawayek/Bramante competed at two ISU Junior Grand Prix events and finished 6th on the junior level at the 2012 U.S. Championships. They parted ways at the end of the season.

Partnership with Baker

Hawayek teamed up with Jean-Luc Baker in June 2012.[5] They were sent to two JGP events and won the silver medal in Germany. Hawayek/Baker took the junior silver medal at the 2013 U.S. Championships and were assigned to the 2013 World Junior Championships in Milan where they finished 7th.

During the 2013–14 ISU Junior Grand Prix, Hawayek/Baker won the gold medal in their JGP events, at the JGP Mexico and the JGP Poland. Their results qualified them to the JGP Final in Fukuoka, Japan, where they won the silver medal. They then won the gold medal at the 2014 World Junior Championships setting a new Junior World record for the overall score with a total of 157.12 points.

Hawayek/Baker began the 2014–15 season at an ISU Challenger Series event, the 2014 Nebelhorn Trophy. They finished fourth after placing fourth in the short and third in the free dance. Their Grand Prix assignments were the 2014 Rostelecom Cup and 2014 NHK Trophy.[6]

Baker sustained a concussion when Hawayek accidentally struck him with her arm in September 2015, just prior to the Labor Day weekend.[7][8] After two weeks, he returned to training, although limited for one more week.[7] Hawayek/Baker finished fourth at the 2015 Skate America. Due to food poisoning, Hawayek vomited eight times in four hours during the night before the short dance at the 2015 Cup of China.[8] After competing in the first segment, the duo decided to withdraw. They placed fifth at the 2016 U.S. Championships.
