What female senior made a huge impact on their team this past year? Maybe they posted impressive scores, helped grow their team, or did something else to leave a positive lasting effect for the MCWSA!
Let us know your nomination below!
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln would like to nominate Allison Hinrichs as the Most Outstanding Senior Female. Allison has been with the team for 5.5 years in which she has supported the team in every way possible. Allison worked down at Bennetts this last summer where she gained knowledge to help all of our skiers back in Nebraska. Allie never missed a beat this fall between practices and tournaments.
Ashley Landis (Bowling Green)
Ashley anchored her team this year and through sheer force of will earned Bowling Green a spot at Regionals. As a skier, she improved to being disappointed if she didn’t run her 32mph pass, became a solid trick skier, and placed in top 5 for each tournament she jumped in. As a leader, she (and a few others) rebuilt Bowling Green’s team from the ground up with incredibly limited practice time. She got three new skiers to land jumps, a few to run passes, and even helped them improve trick scores. I honestly don’t know if any other skier had more of an impact on their team this year than Ashley.Allison Hinrichs has been an instrumental team player for the University of Nebraska- Lincoln Waterski Club. Where do we even start haha… she was a major player in the team making it to nationals for the first time ever. While competing at nationals she had pb’s in all three events where she got second overall. She had a 5 foot pb of 87 feet which put her in second place overall, as well as 4th in trick and 4th in slalom with a 1 buoy pb of 3@22 off. She easily demolished all three women’s records at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. All fall (and really all of her school career) she was found in the boat coaching and teaching other skiers. She focused so much of her time on other people’s skiing and making sure to teach in any way she could. She was hands down the best cheerleader UNL ski team has ever seen this fall while competing at every tournament. She promoted better team spirit and engagement from everyone. While being an awesome student at UNL she managed to complete a double major. She co-coordinated and ran Night Jam which is a pro tournament put on at Bennett’s Waterski School. She has her safety, judges, and scorers ratings making her a very useful tool at any tournament. Through her schooling Allie was a president for 2 years as well as a captain for 2 years leading Nebraska to be the best they could. Allie deserves to be the most outstanding senior female after how many teams and other skiers she has supported.
Laney Peterson has played a tremendous role in building and running the UW La Crosse water ski team. I was a freshman this last year at La Crosse and Laney was one of the first people to come up to me and introduce herself. She made myself and all of the other new members feel extremely welcome. Laney walked me through everything that I needed to know for my first tournament and most importantly reminded me to have fun in the process. She is always extremely encouraging to everyone around her and pushes everyone to be their best. Laney competes in all three events and is a skier that I strive to be in the future. She is someone that I look up to, not only because of her outstanding skiing abilities, but because she is an amazing leader. She is humble and leads by example in everything that she does, and that is why I think she very much deserves the most outstanding senior female award.
