Students at New Hyde Park Memorial High School were left deeply, profoundly, and somewhat hilariously confused this week after co-student council president Dalysa Mirchandani Liu (formerly Darsh Mirchandani), committed to what Olympic officials are calling “the most specific transformation of all time” becoming the school’s unofficial version of Alysa Liu.

“It started small,” one student said. “Like, he watched a few skating videos. Normal behavior. But then he showed up with the hair. And not just hair, the hair. Same color, same style, same ‘I might land a triple axel at any given moment’ energy.”

According to multiple sources, Dalysa became fixated on Liu’s iconic “Stateside” gala program, studying it with what can only be described as “concerning dedication.” Soon after, the outfits followed. Then the skates. Then the full commitment to skating through the hallways like they were an Olympic rink.

“For a week straight, he only turned corners by spinning,” another student reported. “Not even exaggerating. Full rotation. Backpack and everything.”

The situation escalated when Dalysa began traveling to Tully Lake at sunrise, using the frozen surface as his personal training ground. There, bundled in full competition attire, he practiced his recreation of Liu’s “Stateside” program.

“He falls. A lot,” an on-looker said. “But like… in a committed way. Like you can tell it’s part of the vision.”

Faculty initially attempted to intervene, citing “dress code violations” and “excessive hallway axel-ing,” but quickly backed off after Dalysa delivered what one teacher described as “a surprisingly moving interpretive skate during passing period.”

“I went to tell him to stop,” the teacher said. “And then suddenly I was just… watching. It felt wrong to interrupt.”

Despite lacking Olympic-level training, Dalysa has gained a devoted following among students, many of whom now gather to watch his early morning practices—either in person or through increasingly viral videos.

“I don’t fully get it,” avid Dalysa fan Axl Su said. “But when he hits that one spin? It kind of eats. Like, spiritually.”

Dalysa himself remains unfazed by the attention, insisting this is more than just imitation.

“I’m not copying,” he said, adjusting a suspiciously accurate replica of Liu’s costume. “I’m interpreting. This is my ‘Stateside.’ This is my narrative.”

As for what’s next, rumors are already circulating about a possible “competition arc,” though no official events have been confirmed. School administrators, meanwhile, are bracing for impact.

“We support student expression,” one administrator said carefully. “But if more students start showing up in full skating costumes, we may need to… revisit some policies.”

Still, Dalysa shows no signs of slowing down.

“This isn’t a phase,” he said, lacing up his skates at Tully Lake. “It’s a lifestyle.”

Though his jumps remain… aspirational, and his landings occasionally questionable, one thing is certain: Dalysa has fully committed to the bit, or as he would probably correct, the performance.

And at this point, NHP Memorial wouldn’t have it any other way.
