Team Hair Leads as Eight Divisions Wrap Up

Last night, 100 professional and amateur wakeboarders were each drafted to one of 10 teams as part of a unique team format featured at the 2011 Nautique Wake Games, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink. The format allows drafted riders to contribute points to their team’s overall score based on their individual placement within their respective divisions.

Teams began tallying points today, as eight divisions wrapped up their competition at the Orlando Watersports Complex, with Team Hair pacing the field.

Captained by pro rider Austin Hair, Team Hair finished the day with six riders contributing 466 points toward the team’s total score. Charlotte Bryant and Massi Piffaretti took first place in the Jr. Women and Jr. Men’s divisions, respectively. Jaren Nilsen finished in second place in the Amateur Wakeskate division, while Tracy Baynham and Justin Gratzfeld placed third in the Amateur Women and Jr. Men’s divisions, respectively. Danny Thollander also contributed points to his team’s score, but failed to advance past the Pro Men’s division quarterfinals.

With a commanding lead and four more riders set to contribute points during tomorrow’s finals, Team Hair is the favorite to win the 2011 Nautique Wake Games team title.

Also making waves today at the Orlando Watersports Complex were 24-year-old Jenn GilanFarr and 12-year-old Taylor McCullough, who each captured their third straight Nautique Wake Games win. GilanFarr is now a three-time Women’s Wakeskate champion, while McCullough captured her third consecutive Girl’s division title.

The Nautique Wake Games will wrap up tomorrow, Sunday, May1, with the ticketed event beginning at 9 a.m. and lasting until 4 p.m. Tickets are available at the gate: $13 (adult); $5 (ages 6-12); free (ages 5 and under).
