Mark Wiggs Memorial Jump Trophy

The Mark Wiggs Memorial Jump Trophy was first presented by The Webster Ski Bees in 1973.   It was the result of a tragic fatal accident that occurred the previous year at a ski show at Webster Lake.  Mark Wiggs was a good jumper who always placed well in competition and had been demonstrating kite skiing with an early Delta wing kite at this ski show.   He was about 1,000 feet in the air with his kite when a sudden storm  came up producing strong and gusting winds.  He rode down to about 400 feet then free fell into about 8 feet of water.  It was a terrible and devastating accident.  The Webster Ski Bees were a very active ski club at that time and records show that their team dominated the state tournament during the years of 1965-1974.  Their club wanted to honor and remember Mark Wiggs and his love of jumping.  The criteria for being awarded this trophy now include having the longest jump at the Indiana State Tournament and not winning this more than once during a five year period.  The trophy stays with the winning jumper for the year and then goes to the new winner at the state tournament.
