The Midwest Junior Development Team went down to in Santa Rosa Beach to start the season! We had FOUR Illinois juniors represented on the team! Congrats to all of you on not only making the team, but all of the continued successes from this summer!

💥 What an amazing day at the Illinois Junior Clinic! 💥

Our skiers worked hard, had fun, and made huge progress on the water. A HUGE thank‑you to our incredible coaches – Ty Meeker, Eva Henderson, Will Roberts, and Brendan Schultz – for sharing your time, talent, and energy with these athletes. 🙌🎉

And a special shout‑out to Debbie Schultz for organizing such a fantastic clinic and making it all come together! 💙
