Athletes Win National Titles At 2008 Disabled Water Ski National Championships
Athletes won national titles at the 20th Disabled Water Ski National Championships, Aug. 28-30, at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds in DuQuoin, Ill. The tournament featured the United States' top disabled water ski athletes competing for national titles in slalom, tricks, jumping and overall.
Within each event, skiers who were partially (V2, V3) or totally blind (V1), paraplegics or quadriplegics (MP1, MP2, MP3), and arm and/or leg disabilities (A/L with or without prosthesis) compete against athletes with the same disabilities. There were two rounds of competition and event winners were based on a two-round total, while the overall winners were based on overall points from the best scores of either round.
In women’s MP2, Jessica Radmilovic (Sutter Creek, Calif.) won tricks. In women’s MP3, Raquel Roney (Urbana, Ill.) swept titles in slalom, tricks, jumping and overall.
