Four Athletes Earn Top Honors in Waco at Day One of
Nautique WWA Wake Park National Championships

Wake Park Nationals - Day 2 | Wake Park Nationals - Day 3

 
Waco, TX – Being held in Waco for the first time in its history, the Nautiqe WWA Wake Park National Championships presented by Rockstar saw an action packed first day of action with athletes in four divisions earning coveted national titles. Excelling on the world class park at BSR were Tyler Sommer (Junior Men), Olivia Pease (Junior Women), Kelbey Huebner (Junior Pro Men) and Tyler Worrall (Boys).
 
Stylish riding and perfection accurately sum up Tyler Sommer’s performance in the Junior Men division of the Wake Park Finals. An array of tricks off the park’s ramps and rails earned him a perfect 100 point score in the finals and the prestigious title of 2014 national champion. In the Junior Pro Men division, Kelbey Huebner was also completely on top of his game today. His masterful riding on the BSR park earned him a near perfect 98.00 finals run, which was enough to land him atop the podium.
 
“We are so thankful that Nautique stepped up to the plate and made it possible to bring Wake Park Nationals to BSR this year,” said Chris Bischoff, competition director. “Their partnership with BSR has allowed the Nationals to have a top level venue where the world’s best can compete for National titles in both, as we saw today with awesome performances in all four divisions competing. Congratulations to all of today’s winners who earned national championships!”
 
Wake Park Nationals will feature both amateur and professional divisions, and was desgined to allow all participants to also compete in the Nautique WWA Wakeboard National Championships also being held thru the weekend at BSR in Waco.
 
With more than 170 riders expected to participate in Wake Park Nationals and more than 200 in Wakeboard Nationals, the two events will combine to create one of the largest national championship competitions in the sport’s history.
