Overall we are happy to see that there was a strong turnout for both Quad Day and the meeting. To clarify any confusion ski team tryouts will be held Labor Day Weekend, September 1-3. Glen Baurhyte, Mike Anderson, Debbie Hannula, Katie Appell, Scott Scafidi, Alison Heimburger, and Jeremy Tapp along with Glen's younger brother Tim attended SKI Decorah for two days of high energy ski practice. Kerry Tolzman is an expert skier in all skiing disciplines. It was an absolutely amazing two days, and a great way for the team to start off the fall season.
Intramural volleyball is finally over for the waterski team.
We ended the season with an impressive record. Kansas University held the tournament, and Iowa and Kansas State showed up to put up some tough competition. Illinois was highlighted by a 2nd Place finish from Laurel Bolhouse in Women's Slalom, a 3rd place finish for Glen Baurhyte in Men's Trick, and a 4th place finish for Lora Cook in Women's Jump. After such an impressive ski display early in the year, it looks like next fall will be very promising for the Illinois Waterski Team. Hopefully, the pictures from the tournament will be up soon, if anyone has any pictures please send them to Matt Frye.
