The state competition gives each team one hour to show its jumping, pyramid, ballet, and barefooting skills - combined with music and costumes. The judges consider the difficulty and execution of each skill area, boat driving, announcing, production flow, and showmanship.
Aside from holding four state titles, the Little Crow ski team took third place at last year's national competition, were the national champions in 1994 and placed seventh in the nation in 1993.
