Midwest Collegiate Water Ski Association

At the 2025 Collegiate Nationals banquet, Cale Burdick was inducted into the NCWSA Hall of Fame! Congratulations Cale!
Cale has an incredibly long resume when it comes to waterskiing - especially slalom - but he’s also a strong overall competitor. He still holds the Midwest slalom record of 2@41' off. Cale has done so much for this sport, the NCWSA, Team Midwest, Purdue Waterski, and his family. We could go on and on about Cale - there’s truly no one more deserving of this honor.
Cale was unable to attend the banquet to personally accept the award. In recognition of his achievement, his close friend and competitor, Storm Selsor, joined by the Purdue Waterski Team accepted the honor on his behalf.
Please listen to the video to hear some of Cale’s accomplishments.
Congrats again to a Midwest legend😎 and thank you for the classic pictures!
