Eva Pate

With her skating partner and husband, Logan Bye, she is the 2023 CS Autumn Classic International champion and a two-time ISU Challenger Series silver medalist.

[3] Pate began learning to skate at age five after attending an ice rink event with her Girl Scout troop.

At the suggestion of coach Janet Wene, she switched to the recently formed solo ice dance competition circuit, which had been started the year earlier to create more opportunities for girls in the sport who lacked partners.

[6] Watching the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi inspired Pate to definitively choose to focus on ice dance over gymnastics, which she had also been participating in until that point.

[4] Pate had begun dating ice dancer Logan Bye in December 2018, and in June 2019, they decided to become an on-ice partnership.

Pate/Bye were assigned to make their Grand Prix debut at the 2020 Skate America in Las Vegas, attended primarily by American skaters due to travel restrictions pandemic.

[12] They were given two Challenger circuit assignments after that, first winning the silver medal at the 2022 U.S International Classic, held in Lake Placid.

[17] Pate/Bye were selected to compete in a third Challenger circuit assignment, the 2022 Golden Spin of Zagreb, where they earned a season's best free dance score and finished in fourth place.

[12] Pate/Bye began the season by winning bronze at the 2024 Lake Placid Ice Dance International and at the 2024 CS Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur.
