September 17, 20241 yr I didn't see this mentioned. It's been around forever and is a sport on the decline sadly. Technically, it falls under Rec-Sports, but they compete regionally against other schools with the potential to go to Nationals. My son is a freshman and grew up in and around a ski club, and he was eyeing the ski team even before he realized that fraternity life wasn't for him. Within a week, he was signed up for his first tournament and has been hitting the lake four times per week. Traveling to LA-Monroe for a tournament this weekend. If any of you Surly-types have kids at UT who like to water ski, they should check it out. No level of expertise required (but it helps), and they have a lot of fun. He's also hitting me up for their snow ski trip over winter break. Edited September 17, 20241 yr by dcbc
