Virginia Tech Wakeboarding Takes First in Cincy By Southern Boats on Virginia Tech Wake Last weekend the Virginia Tech Wakeboard Team travelled to Cincinnati, Ohio to compete in the third stop of Empire Wake's Collegiate Wake Series. The team took first place and qualified for the CWS Nationals in April.  With the strong performance in Cincinnati, VT Wake will be going to Nationals in Austin, Texas with a very high seed. This will also boost VT Wake in the national rankings. This is the first time that the Virginia Tech Wakeboard team has qualified for nationals in both the Collegiate Wake Series and the Alt Games National Championships. With wins in regional qualifiers in both series, Virginia Tech has high hopes for the spring. This weekend we didn't spend our time at just the competition site.  The team alsospent a day at the newest cable park in the country, Wake Nation. The team spent a whole day riding cable, grinding sliders, and hitting kickers at Wake Nation. The team was working hard competing and learning new tricks at the cable park. It showed in the increased appetite of the team as another highlight of the trip was the twelve person team nearly beat the world record for most fast food consumed in a single weekend. The Virginia Tech Wakeboard team has now visited every Chipotle in the Fairfield, OH area. This is the last competition that the Virginia Tech Wakeboard Team will attend this calendar year. With tournaments starting back up in the spring time, the team will ride as long as weather permits and hopefully stomp some new tricks before the winter off-season rolls around.
