| WSWM are big winners at National Waterski-Wakeboard Congress -
Calgary |
Congratulations are in order for Michele Grant who was recently named Official of the Year at the Waterski-Wakeboard Canada's annual National Congress. Michele has been officiating for 15 years and each year her involvement in the sport is one of the most valuable volunteer contributions made in Manitoba. In 2011 she was chief calculator at the WSWM Provincial Championships, Western Canadian Waterski Championships, Canadian Waterski Championships, the Under 21 World Waterski Championships in France as well as the Can-am Invitational Challenge in Illinois. Michele serves on the WSWC Officials committee and is extremely dedicated to the mentorship and development of new/future officials and calculators.
Congratulations Michele and thanks again for all of your hard work and dedication to our sport!
Waterski-Wakeboard Manitoba was also recognized as Province of the Year by Waterski-Wakeboard Canada. This award comes after a busy and successful season of growth and change within the province. With new events and plans being developed for next season hopefully we can rise to challenge and continue on this path! WSWM would like to thank all of our members for a great year; each and every one of you played a part in achieving this award.

| Wakeboard Season Update |
|
Congratulations to Jess Polley for his bronze and silver medal performances in the Junior Men division and Pro Sliders respectively at the recent Canadian Wakeboard Championships held in Kamloops BC. Jess put up some great runs and had to battle against not only some stiff competition but poor seeding in the heats.
Jess was Manitoba’s only representative at this year’s Championships with Dyllon Hubscher out for the season due to injury and Jason Bannatyne, our other top competitor busy competing on the Pro Tour!
Having posted strong performances throughout the tour, Jason finished up with a 20th place finish in the World Master Craft Pro Men’s division and a 22nd place finish in King of Wake. With over 60 competitors on this year’s tour Jason has achieved what is likely one of Manitoba’s top finishes ever.
WSWM is extremely proud of both Jess and Jason and we look forward to seeing them both compete here in Winnipeg at the Provincial Wakeboard Championships next weekend!
