ESPN’s Marty Smith is in Alabama for the football, but that did not stop him from checking out the Alabama Water Ski Team and learn a little about collegiate water skiing. Santiago Varas jumps in the background and then Marty throws him a pass! Watch the video to see if Santi should stick to water ski jumping! The University of Alabama Water Ski Team placed 4th in the nation this past weekend at the NCWSA National Championships at Imperial Lakes in El Centro, CA and Santiago took 2nd in jump with a leap of 171 feet.
