The Wild Life, with Mark Taylor

Lee Wagner is third in Smith Mountain Lake Wakefest

There's nothing like teasing folks about an upcoming event and then doing no follow-up. Yet that's what we did with last weekend's Smith Mountain Lake Wakefest contest. I wrote a big feature on brothers Lee and Joel Wagner (you can see a video of them in action HERE), while our Lake supplement had a preview of the contest.

And that was it.

No results story (or even brief) after the contest.

I had another assignment Saturday and couldn't make it, but I could have done a better job of tracking down the results. Sorry.

Lake Gaston rider Adam Fields won the tournament's top Outlaw division. As for the Wagner brothers, 18-year-old Lee got third and 17-year-old Joel didn't place.

The contest drew 90 competitors.

  2. Tom,
    Thanks for the report on how Brian did at the contest. I'm glad to see that one of the lake's first amazing wakeboarders is still out there tearing it up.
