Now that the "Nationals" are finished, a new scoring year begins for tournament water skiers. Sawmill Lake near Columbus and Champion Lake near McCordsville teamed up to host 2 record tournaments this past weekend, August 26th and 27th. Breezy conditions dominated both lakes in the morning but conditions improved into the afternoons. Skiers from Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan enjoyed the " Hoosier Hospitality." Since the USA Water Ski Web Site has issues, the actual scores will have to be posted at a later date. We do know that several "PB's" were enjoyed by several skiers....Neal 2@ 39' off......Peyton 1@38' off....how about the Kim Contos 5.5 @ 38' off after recently spending a week in the hospital for a serious leg infection! I'm sure there were other noteworthy scores! Future tournaments include Cindonway Shores on September 3rd and Silent Shores on September 9th. Check the IWSA website for "sign-up instructions."
