Baller ToddL Posted September 16, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2012 Just saw a post from Scot Ellis on FB about this. Manon Costard - new NCWSA Women's Record - 2.5 @39 That's a MC (Monte Carlo) ski. Prior record is by Regina (no surprise) with 2 @39 back in 2003. http://www.usawaterski.org/pages/divisions/collegiate/NCWSARecords.htm No video of the actual record ride, but I found this... Maybe news will later be posted here... http://www.fscmocs.com/sport.asp?sportID=28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted September 16, 2012 Administrators Share Posted September 16, 2012 She has been on fire this year. Second at Soaked and I think she did really good at the Malibu. (someone will check this for me I am sure) I have only met her once and spoken to her in passing but she seems like a very nice young woman.

Baller jdarwin Posted September 18, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2012 "All about depth in collegiate" Very true - my daugher's average her last year was 2 @ 35 off and she barely made the 5th rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted September 19, 2012 Gold Member Share Posted September 19, 2012 @jdarwin What's a "rotation" in this context? I can't quite believe a woman getting into -35 isn't one of the top skiers at her college. But if so, I'm pretty psyched! Great to see such passion and skill at that level.

Baller 6balls Posted September 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 20, 2012 Not to mention how dopey this makes all of us grown men look. Was reading in WS about the 14 y.o. Chet is coaching who ran 5 @ 38...ties my tourney best. Hoping to up that soon, but I'm sure by the time this young girl is 15 she will be schooling me.

Baller jdarwin Posted September 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 20, 2012 @Ilivetoski @thanbogan - "rotation" is the team seeding. She was 5th seed with an average of 92 buoys at ULM last fall. She's the one kneeling to right in the group picture in Water Ski mag's story on ULM in this month's issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ilivetoski Posted September 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 20, 2012 @jdarwin well as you know ULM is one of, if not the, top ski schools in the nation. I am planning on going somewhere else like 1) Alabama or Cinncinati. Alabama I am very good friends with the coach and my friends are all going there. Cinncinati I would would be the best one on the team and as the team captian told me "one of the best in the region" so I think that would be kinda fun!

Baller ntx Posted September 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 20, 2012 There is HUGE range of scores in college. The top four or five schools can post scores with five skiers into short line lengths. After that it drops. FSC will be tough this year. They added a top 22 year old three event skier plus KC Wilson has put the trick and jumpers back on. They look to have depth. Looks like bama may be headed in a downward direction. ULM & ULL will be tough as always. Not sure what Rollins will have, they added a elite women tricker and short line slalom. One of ASU top male gun is hurt and out for season. They also lost top female from last year due to graduation but did add a male and female slalom stud. Miss Greenwood when she gets 100% plus Dylan next year will help ULL. Haw going to ULM will add ANOTHER elite 3 event skier to ULM and Kolmann may give them the best 1,2 trick tandem in the country. Should be a FUN year.

Baller ntx Posted September 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 20, 2012 @livetoski Sounds like you can be a big fish in a little pond, or a little fish in a big pond. Keep in mind that the most important part of your collage life, will be your education. Make your school selection based on what fits your future job goals. NOT what team you want to ski on. Make sure to research your selection. Some schools have a history of telling you one thing, and things turn out VERY different in the end. Right now to ski "A" team at bama, it will take a slalom score into -35, jump over 110 or trick at least 1500 in a single pass. Good luck and I hope you make a choice that works for your future plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 @ilivetoski You would be the top slalom skier at Cincinnati for sure as they do not currently have anyone consistently skiing 22 off shortline. Top score of the past midwest weekend was .5 at 38off Getting into 32off will place you in the top 10 in the midwest. Getting into 32 off in the eastern or south central will get you top 20 currently Last year skiing into 32off nationally would put you in the top 60.

Baller A_B Posted September 24, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2012 I was working with a guy at Ohio State and he went from 28mph to some at 34 mph and he was excited that he might be 4th or 5th on the roster now, so he could ski in tournaments. The top guy runs into 38 off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted September 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 25, 2012 @ilivetoski you should consider a Texas school. Weather's really nice. I ski at the same private lake as University of Texas. They have a newer mastercraft, they're out there using it fairly often. A&M and Texas state both ski on private lakes as well. Scholasticly UT and A&M are among the best in the country, Texas State is pretty good as well. I'm pretty sure you could start on those teams. I skied on UTs team, we got 5th one year at nationals - like to see them get back to that level again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ilivetoski Posted September 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 25, 2012 @gregy I would love to go to texas, but I live in Kentucky, near Louisville and my county is in state tuition for UC. I do not think I have the grades for a scholarship to texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ilivetoski Posted September 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 25, 2012 @FA I was talking to Joel Howley (phenom) a few days ago and he says next year he thinks I can start smoking 35, just gotta get out of this 32 mental block. Idk if thats true but sure sounds good in theory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
