Winning a championship is hard. Building a dynasty is harder and maintaining it is nearly impossible. However, the ULM Water Ski team has been able to do all three. Despite facing numerous obstacles this year, the ski team brought home their 29th national championship last week.
Water ski isn’t for everybody. Most skiers start at a very young age and spend the majority of their formative years working on their craft.
“We’re a rare breed of people that you don’t find very often.” team captain Tom Poole said.
Even though competitive skiers aren’t found often, ULM likes to take this rare breed and turn them into superstars.
