2021 Distinguished Service Award Recipient - Denise Dammeyer

Denise has been the foundation of our beloved sport of water skiing for the past decade.  Not only is she one of the two Senior 3-Event Scorers in the State of Ohio, but she has also trained dozens of others to follow.  She has been the Chief Scorer at the Midwest Regionals and has been an integral part of hosting five State Tournaments.  

In addition, there are numerous behind-the-scenes tasks Denise performs to grow and keep our sport organized, including posting updates to OWSA, maintaining the state records, and being very involved with collegiate tournaments.  Denise is also the talented photographer responsible for all the action-packed photos on FaceBook.  

Congratulations Denise on this most deserving award. ​​
