It was "tournament weekend" in central Indiana.  The Sawmill Record 2 tournament was held on Saturday, August 24th and the Champion Lake Record tournament was held on Sunday, August 25th.  There must have been a "direct line" to the weather gods as there was NO WIND on either day.  Calm smooth water was the order of both days although there was Sun Glare in the early mornings at both lakes causing delayed starts.  There were multiple "PB's" from both young and old.  Lots of discussions about the recent Nationals that were held in California and many goals already set for next season.  Two more final  tournaments are both set for September 7th at Cindonway Shores and Boonedocks.
 Congratulations to Ted McColley at the Sawmill Tournament.  Ted recently turned 70 (old fart!) and skied in the Men's 8 Category.  Ted tied the National Record of 39' off!!!   What an accomplishment!  Now, we won't comment on his golf cart driving skills!!!
Time to start thinking about the IWSA fall awards and banquet!
