11/10/13 We Meet Again

These two have competed for many years together, as toddlers growing up through the divisions from young beginnings as junior boys, to mature expert competitors of men's 1. They are no strangers to each other on the starting dock. Last year Andrew Schmitt had chose to further his education at Purdue and enjoys the comroderi among friends while competing on the Purdue Boilermakers Ski Team. This year B'ster Detty, has chose to do the same but at the rival of Indiana University. So here they still are probably skiing one right after the other in the seeded collegiate events during the collegiate season in the Great Lakes Conferance.
