Jaquess, Nightingale, Pickos and Barton-Bischoff were selected to the U.S. Elite Water Ski Team, along with Jimmy Siemers of Round Rock, Texas, and April Coble-Eller of Lillington, N.C. Selected to the pool of alternates were: Bennett, Travers, Ellis, Gay, Joy Todd of Pierson, Fla., and Caroline Hensley of Hixson, Tenn. Siemers opted to try out only for the U.S. Elite Water Ski Team.
Both teams were selected by the American Water Ski Association's International Activities Committee (IAC). The American Water Ski Association is a sport discipline of USA Water Ski. "I believe we have selected two solid teams," said Frank Harrison, chairman of the IAC. "We should be in a good position to bring home some gold medals."
