Mandy meet Regina...Regina meet Mandy.
Never let it be said that the Boathouse people aren't first with breaking news in the waterski world.
Like, two weeks ago Mandy Nightingale set two pending Women's trick records, While at the same time, THE EXACT SAME TIME...or more likely the same week-end, Regina Jaquess (pronounced Jaquess) set a pending slalom record of 3 at 39.5 off.
In doing so she bested or pending besteded her own world record of 2.25 bouys at 39.5.
***Side note - Would it kill usawaterski.com to put some pictures with their stories? Its much harder to write funny waterski stuff and put in pics if we have to do all the work ourselves.***
If you remember we made a big deal about the guys at collegiate all-stars and their performances, but, dudes you best step it up, Regina and Mandy just mopped the floor with yo bust ass trick ski and slalom ski attached to a mop and dipped in that nasty water they use at fast food restaurants and then clean the floor with it using your trick ski and....ugh....*dizzy*
So, want to feel even worse about this nonsense? Mandy isnt just a great skiier, but also was a member of the University of Colorado basketball team.
While I think she looks more natural in her ski gear then in a basketaball jersey, its still impressive none the less.
Messed around and got a triple-double
Around here though thats nothing, see, every summer when I break out my street ball gear and go by the name "The Professor", even Skip to my lou himself....thats playground legend Rafer Alston fo all y'all bitchs, won't step his game to my level.
Not to be outdone, if you check out Regina's Bio, its states that not only was she a star point guard for her high school team but also has the nickname cheese.
She seems like a tough girl not to like, here are some highlights from her website. With our hysterical and accurate thoughts in {these things}.

Meanwhile, Mandy goes for quality over quantity with Mastercraft, O'Brien and O'Neil...That was taken from the USAWaterski page, however, it looks like she skis for D3 now...
