NEWS FLASH
 
I have some info regarding the State Championships. The Country Hearth Inn and Suites will be offering discounted rooms if you mention Clear Lake or the State Water Ski Championships. They will start at 60.00 and go up. It is a really nice place. The Phone number is 336-357-2100.
Also the banquet will be held at Richard Childress Racing at a new banquet hall they have.

News Flash
Two world-record holders dominate the field in the opening round.

The best men's slalom skiers and jumpers in the world arrived at Placid Waters in Allendale, Michigan to compete in the inaugural Global Invitation for $30,000. Swirling wind conditions were a challenge for some skiers, but it was two world-record holders that rose to the occasion to separate themselves from the field. In men's slalom, Chris Parrish easily ran his way down the line with a top score of 5 at 41 off. "I had the start to run it," says Parrish. "Things have been going really well in practice so I'm pumped to ski in the finals." Masters champion Will Asher had the second best score with 3 at 41 off, and Jamie Beauchesne was close behind with 1 ½  at 41 off.

In men's jump, Freddy Krueger only needed his first jump over the ramp to distance him from the field by 14 feet with a 224-footer. Jason Seels was second with a 210-foot leap, although he paid the price on his next attempt with a hard stack out the front.
