I think that Sean Freitag’s performance at regionals this year is a textbook “One for the team. One for yourself. And one for the hospital.” We saw him absolutely send 2 jumps off the rip and then his 3rd jump had left him in the air backwards, a ski flying in the air, and all of our team speechless. Luckily he didn’t break anything other than the fin one of his skis!
I would like to nominate Kaitlin DuCharme for rookie of the year. Kaitlin joined our team this year with no experience in waterskiing but very quickly became one of the most valuable members of our women’s team. Kaitlin was a very quick learner, she was able to land jumps after around 5 attempts and trick became one of her strengths after just a little bit of practice. I sincerely believe that even as a beginner she inspired all of us to do better both in and out of the water.
I would like to nominate Samantha Varness from SIU. She grew so much in slalom and trick this year which resulted in her becoming the best skier on our women’s team. She always came to practice with a selfless mentality because she always wanted to see our new members enjoy practice and become better skiers. The SIU team would not be successful without people like Sammy!
