Reina Itai from Roselle, Illinois, has won the $1,000 Dave Goode Memorial Scholarship. Reina is a junior at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, majoring in Civil Engineering.
"This scholarship will significantly aid me in achieving my academic and career goals while continuing my passion for waterski. It will enable me to focus more on my studies and participate in additional educational opportunities that will enrich my college experience," says Reina.
"Upon joining the waterski team at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, I have gained a massive passion for three-event waterskiing. Outside of the classroom, I love to spend time skiing and hanging out with my team. I hope to continue this sport throughout the rest of my life and share my passion with the rest of the world," says Reina.
