Eastern Region Skiers Selected to National Water Ski Teams

Updated 3/9/05

Top junior water ski athletes from across the nation have been selected to the National Junior Water Ski Team and the National Junior Development Water Ski Team for 2005. The selections, decided upon by the International Activities Committee of USA Water Ski, are based upon tournament performances during the 2004 tournament season. The teams are comprised of athletes currently competing in the Boys and Girls (1, 2, and 3) age divisions (16 years old and younger).

From the Eastern Region, Alex Lauretano of Morris, Connecticut was selected to the 2005 National Junior Water Ski Team. Benjamin Spear of Sterling, Virginia was selected as an alternate on the 2005 National Junior Water Ski Team and as a member of the 2005 National Junior Development Water Ski Team. Jonathan Paulovich of Hewitt, New Jersey was selected as a member of the 2005 National Junior Development Water Ski Team. Wyatt Haines of Avon, Connecticut was selected as a member of the 2005 National Junior Development Water Ski Team.

Members of the National Junior Water Ski Team are eligible to receive top-level water ski instruction at a junior development training camp to be held in the spring. The camp will feature elite athletes and coaches working individually with each junior athlete in the slalom, tricks, and jumping events. Aimed at identifying and producing future elite athletes, the camps are funded through a grant from the United States Olympic Committee.

Plans are currently being made for junior development clinics where members of the National Junior Development Team will receive water ski instruction from elite athletes and coaches in the slalom, tricks, and jumping events.

Congratulations to the Eastern Region skiers who have been selected as members of these prestigious teams.
