Amendment 3 to the USA Wildwater Team Bylaws has been finalized and approved. This amendment changes the National Championships to recognize Sprint, Classic, and combined Champions. Also, the Team selection criteria is updated to include more emphasis on sprint and to establish minimum percentages to earn a berth on the team.

In other news, the 2005 USA Wildwater Junior and Senior Team Trials have been awarded to the Nantahala Racing Club.
