Sessoms, Jim
Abstract:
Sessoms profiles Kristi Overton of Greenville, who, at the tender age of nine years, is making her mark in professional waterskiing. She started on skis at the age of four and a half, could slalom (one ski) at five, and was on trick skis at six. In 1978, as the youngest competitor ever in the Nationals, she won fourth place honors behind the Junior Girls Champion, who was an experienced skier three years older than Overton.
