The 1988 United States Figure Skating Championships was an event organized by U.S. Figure Skating to determine the U.S. national champions. The event was one of the criteria used to select the U.S. teams for the 1988 Winter Olympics,^[1] as well as the 1988 World Championships. Medals were awarded in four colors: gold (first), silver (second), bronze (third), and pewter (fourth) in four disciplines – men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing – across three levels: senior, junior, and novice. The 1988 Championships took place between January 4 and 10, 1988 in Denver, Colorado.
