Well, at least the 20-year-old thinks it was her fifth title. When you have been skating since you were just 4 years old and been to as many tournaments as Templeton (nee Figgins) has, you can lose track.
"I've won quite few titles in different grades, but I'm pretty sure this is my fifth title for the senior ladies," she said.
Templeton also coaches and was just as interested in how her charges and Dunedin's young skaters were progressing.
Emma Cunningham placed third in the pre-primary ladies event and Sarah MacGibbon claimed the bronze position in the junior ladies category.
Icentric placed second in the junior synchronised category but there were only two teams entered in the event.
Auckland can actually lay claim to Templeton's title. Out of protest she decided to compete for an Auckland club at the nationals instead of the Dunedin Ice Skating Club (DISC).
"It was just to make a point to the club to start doing some stuff for the skaters," she said.
"It is a bit messy but the kids I coach all represented Dunedin."
Templeton lives in Dunedin and plans to stay involved with the DISC but says her ice skating career is at a crossroads.
She would dearly love to represent New Zealand at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia in 2014. But it takes time and money to do all the training and attend the qualification tournaments. While she has a huge passion for the sport, she does not have the bottomless pockets to go with it.
Templeton estimates it would cost $600 each week to fund her bid. The travel expenses would be an extra cost an top of that.
The dresses she skates in, for example, can cost up to $1000, and she goes through a pair of skates every year or so and they cost $2500 to replace. Then she has to pay for coaching, gym membership, time on the ice and everything else which goes with being a top athlete.
"I have the option of trying to get to the Winter Olympics but, at this stage, it pretty much comes down to the amount of training I have to do and the cost."
Figure skating is very much a minority sport in New Zealand and finding sponsorship is an ongoing struggle.
"Most sports will pay for you to go to the Olympics but in this case I'd have to pay for myself to go. It is hard to spend $600 a week just on skating."
Templeton believes she needs to make a decision in the next month or so whether to pursue her Olympic ambition.
