STRONG WINDS POSTPONE WOMEN'S JUMP EVENT

Immediate Release
August 11, 1997
Dinsdale Park

A decision has been made by the water ski tournament officials to move the
women's jump event to tomorrow, Tuesday, August 12. Instead they will run
the Women's trick event. It is felt that the high southwest winds being
experienced at Dinsdale Park are too strong for this event.   For the safety
of the skiers, the tournament officials, coaches and managers voted
unanimously to make this change.

Tournament schedule now reads with these changes:

Monday, August 11
3:15 PM - Women's Tricks

Tuesday, August 12
8:00 AM - Men's slalom - Round 1
11:15 AM - Women's jump - Round 1
1:30 PM - Men's jump - Round 1

At this time there are no changes to the schedule of events for Wednesday,
August 13 and Thursday, August 14.
