Amber Glenn hits triple axel to edge Alysa Liu for third straight US figure skating crown

• Glenn wins third straight US title with sensational free

• Liu takes secone as Levito likely seals lqw5 Olympic spot

• Pairs champs Efimova, Mitrofanov face citizenship race

Amber Glenn won her third consecutive US figure skating title Friday night with a brilliant free skate on the heels of an equally impressive performance from world champ Alysa Liu, who remained rinkside to cheer on her soon-to-be teammate on the American team headed for the Milano Cortina Olympics.

Glenn finished with 233.55 points inside the packed Enterprise Center, while Liu was second with 228.91. Isabeau Levito earned the bronze medal with 224.45 points and, more than likely, the final women's spot on the squad for the Winter Games.
