What is an "October Athlete"?

We are guessing that this is similar to the Mr. October stuff in baseball, but, the USAWaterski peeps unveiled, unleashed, whatever, their October Athletes of the month, Danyelle Bennett and Ian Trapp.

Which begs the question, what the hell is an "October Athlete"?

Well, lets see., the WIKI man says,

October is the tenth month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with a length of 31 days. In the northern hemisphere, October is commonly associated with the season of autumn. October begins in western tropical astrology with the sun in the sign of Libra and ends in the sign of Scorpio. Astronomically speaking, the sun actually begins in the constellation of Virgo and ends in the constellation of Libra.

In Latin, octo means "eight," reflecting the fact that October was the eighth month in the Roman calendar.

Well, OK!!

So, Danyelle and Ian are Gregorian Skiers with western tropical astrology with some libra and virgo shit thrown in for good measure.

Thats pretty awesome.

We always thought that both these people were pretty cool anyways, not having really ever met them, but, you know...good skiers and all but now? POW!! They are freaking OCTOBER SKIERS!
