Our final graduate shoutout goes to our favorite Bubblr enthusiast, Joely Swanson! Earning a B.S. in Genetics and Genomics, she plans on taking a gap year before pursuing graduate school! Joely played a big role as Fundraising chair, and can always be found in her boots and Zach Bryan hat (surprised she didn’t wear ‘em off the dock)🤠. Her PBs include a 39 ft jump and 270 trick run! We’ll miss her spontaneity and bartending skills and are so so excited to see all that she does🥹Good luck and come visit!❤️❤️ .swanson

Here he is Mr. Mouthguard himself! AKA Slim, AKA The Library Lurker📚, AKA Concrete Cowboy🤠, but most of us know him as Sam (The Dawg ) Strachan. Strachan’s dedication to his academics earned him his B.S. of Biomedical engineering, but his enternal clout from frequenting the College Library may be equally as valuable to him. Watch your mouth around this guy because he’s going to the University of Utah School of Dentistry to soak up all the dental experience he can for his post graduate degree👨‍🏫. When he isn’t fighting demons in the library he becomes one on the water😈. Dawning his tight black “slendy suit” that many came to fear, this apparition would aerodynamically swerve the bouys eventually spooking the competition with a PB of 1@ 36mph 28’ off. Slim was also known for his curly blond hair spinning, twisting, and twirling on top of that water looking like someone stirring a bowl of ramen🍜 . In part with his famous Kevin Jack impression, Sam was able to complete some fantastic inverts, spins, and twists earning him up to 1500+ points…sometimes… 🤷. Besides having a spot in the Guinness book of Word records, Sam’s crowning achievement filled the greatest cavity in any colligate skier’s heart: the rare feat of a 100ft PB jump 🚀 Due to the serious coaching (barking) from his favorite jump coach appropriately called Sam (also referred to as dawg) on shore. Mr. Consistent has put up these numbers over many years of skiing for us, and Sam has multiple Overall Skier awards that bestow honor to his show ski heritage 🥇. There is no filler, veneer, or prosthetic that can replace this guy; he is truly one of our favorite teammates and he will be missed♥️ Sam Strachan

Today’s grad shoutout goes to Ben Schulz! Graduating with a degree in economics and a certificate in business, he’s hoping to go into commercial real estate. Despite never coming to a tournament (lame 🥱), he was our wakeboard captain and was frequently found napping at his teammates’ residences💤. But, have no fear, he could easily be woken up with the beginning chords of “Sweet Home Alabama!” A show skier too, Ben skied at Legoland last summer and is on the Muskego Water Bugs! He’s wakeboarded in Arizona, Portugal, and more, and we can’t wait to see what lake he’s headed to next🛫. We’ll for sure miss him and his Borat impressions, and you’re looking for him this summer, try hitting up Idle Isle Park or Danny Haskells. Cheers and good luck! 🍻♥️

You might recognize him from his incredible hop dock attempt (see previous post if not!) or as the man behind the tournament venmo requests that we all get 5 months late—it’s Mikey! He’s graduating with a degree in Economics and a certificate in Computer Science. Not only was Mikey a key part of our team as Treasurer for two seasons, but he was a friendly face to all that we’re sure gonna miss🥹. He’ll be pursuing a career in financial advising and aims to retire before 35 to become a stay-at-home dad🤟. We can’t wait to see all that you do!🎓❤️

Sending good luck to , .artang, and the rest of our Midwest ski family down at All Stars this weekend!🩷🔥

Skiers off to pickos!! Getting great coaching, pbs, and sunburnt along the way😅
