Collegiate Competition

Student skydivers Nich Jarlsberg from UW Stout, Kaleb Lommen from University of Minnesota and Aaron Cederberg from UW Madison traveled to Houston over the New Year to represent Skydive Wissota and their respective universities in the annual National Collegiate Parachuting Championships. Upon their arrival at Skydive Spaceland, they were quick to form pickup teams with other civilian skydivers, eventually competing in the 4-way advanced and 6-way speedstar categories.

Despite nearly three and a half days of overcast and low clouds keeping the competitors grounded, the competition finally took off along with the New Year, and the requisite nine competition jumps were quickly made with the last of them barely beating sunset on Sunday, the final day of competition.

The teams placed 8th in the 4-way competition and 10th in the speedstar competition, however regardless of the results, all the participants enjoyed meeting other student skydivers from across the nation and of course, the skydives.
