I would like to nominate myself. My team (SIU) has multiple running jokes about how bad I am at jumping. Just this year at competitions, I have been pulled out of the water on a backboard in Nebraska and then hit a superman pose after being airborne 2 times in 1 jump at regionals (where I popped 5 ribs out of place).
I believe SIU deserves the most improved award. Fall of 2021 season started with eight skiers (only one of which was a girl), 6 of these skiers had never even seen a slalom course, and nobody had ever landed a jump. We were the team who skied for fun, but not this past season. Fall of 2022 we took 11 skiers to regionals (which we actually qualified for) with full mens and womens teams. Some of our skiers ran multiple full passes on slalom this season, we had killer trick runs, and we have I believe 6 people landing jumps. I think SIU has come out of the dog house and we are here to play!
