2004
Pine Crest MasterCraft Indiana Water Ski
Championships
This years state tournament was a spectacular event. If you
missed the 2004 tournament let's recap the event. Take one of the beautifulest
ski sites in the state and combine it with some of the most hospitable people in
the sport and you couldn't have asked for a better event. The tournament went on
with out a hitch, noticeable problem, or even the slightest delay. There was
great skiing over the weekend with records being shattered in every event and
through allot of the age groups. Many thanks need to be extended to The
Timberlake Ski Club and Chief Judge Sam Schmitt and Tournament Director Dan
Custer for pulling off our premier event of the year. And our Sponsors.
Please support our sponsors that help make these events as great as they are.
