Congradulations to New Jumpers

Posted Thursday, September 22nd, 2005 at 1:02 am by Aaron VanDevender

This weekend was a pretty big weekend for the Falling Illini. The weather was beautiful and we had 18 Falling Illini make skydives, including 14 first timers! On Saturday Jon Wilkinson, ShuHao Wang, and Ben Andersen made their first static-line jumps. Evan Sanders made a tandem jump. On Sunday we had Megan Dye, Joel Lau, Torance Khoo, and FangPing Lim do tandem jumps, and in the static-line course we had a Falling Illini airborne platoon: Emily Heindel, Maggie Kostova, Art Riewaldt, Paul Ahn, Ashish Gupta, Adam Hood and Tommy Parkhill. Congradulations, guys!
