Dothan’s Mary Morgan Howell, after winning the Nautique WWA World Wakeboard Championships title for the first time as a professional Sunday, was then able to do something she’s watched others
“It’s something I’ve been watching the pro women do since I was 8 years old is get to stand on the top of that podium and get to give their speech after they win,” Howell said.
“At the end of the season they have their series standings, which is an accumulation of points from each tournament,” Howell said. “The way the points shook out this time, I was actually able to win the Nautique overall series.” “My wakeboard coach, Andrew Atkinson, told me a long time ago that the most motivating position to be in is No. 2,” Howell said. “Any place other than No. 1, I think is the most motivating position to be in.”
However, by no means was it an easy task for Howell in edging out Meagan Ethell of Channahon, Ill., for the championship. “This ninth trick for me this time is called a wrap, toe-side, backside, 360,” Howell said. “Basically you wrap the rope around your body and when you hit the wake, you let the rope kind of unwind you into a 360. I was able to land that and Megan barely, barely missed her wildcard trick.”
