USD Water Ski Team

Hundreds of Skiers-Regionals

USD Ski Team — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:26:27 +0000

Thanks to Saint Mary’s Ski Team USD attended an expertly organized Regional tournament. Joining USD were 12 other collegiate teams from Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, and Arizona. Six skiers and alumni Bryce Lewis made the journey to check out the tournament. Ethan Olson joined us for the first time at a tournament and competed in all three events. Nancy Schneider got up first try on the slalom ski and came very close to landing her jump. Rosie Bates got her first side slide on the wakeboard. Byron Riemhofer continued to show his strength in jumping as well as getting a bouy in slalom. Katie Smith got into 32 mph getting 4 1/2.

USD is working on establishing a solid traveling team. The 6 people at the last two tournaments have shown great dedication to the team we are excited to see the growth. We are also very excited that we now have 17 people signed up for the team. We hope to have a full roster at both Oktoberfest and the spring tournaments!

6 USD attended the ASU hosted tournament. With three freshmen in our ranks (Rosie, Byron, and Nancy) it was a great first tournament experience! Byron Riemhofer landed his first jump ever! Adam Jones and Mac Sparks both got jump scores in the 50ft range. Rosie Bates and Nancy Schneider got up and show great potential in all three events. Katie Smith got a PB in slalom by running 32 mph and getting 1 1/2 at 34. We look forward to huge growth as our team gets out to practice more and more on our new/newly fixed Ski Nautique.

Teskila Sunrise Produces Numerous PBs

USD Ski Team — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:23:00 +0000

El Centro, CA – After a weekend out in the scorching desert of Southern California at a watering hole called “Imperial Lakes,” the USD Ski Team returned to San Diego with PBs for all those who competed! Junior Ramon Smith ran his first pass at a tournament posting 6@28 – 15 off and 2.5@30 – 15 off! Bryce Lewis, a graduate student, earned his first buoy at a tournament with 2@28 – 15 off! Throughout the weekend, Junior Katie Smith and Sophomore Chris Blay were neck and neck competing for 1st place on the team. Going into Sunday, both had run 2.5@32 – 15 off (a personal best for Katie and a tied tournament personal best for Chris) and had trick scores of 450, a personal best for both! All that stood in the way of the victor was jump. Chris landed 2 out of 3 jumps with longest jump of 39 feet. Katie bested Chris landing 2 out of 3, but with a longest jump of 48 feet, beating Chris by 9 feet!The team is looking forward to the Bakersfield tournament where they all hope to better their scores.
