MONTREAL (CP) - Kyle Rattray of Guelph, Ont., won gold medals in the men's open and over-19 categories Sunday at the Canadian wakeboard championships.
Rattray, 20, had already made a strong impression this year in his first full season as a senior competitor, and is eyeing gold at next month's world championships in Moscow. "Everything came together for me today and I'm really pumped about being the Canadian champion," Rattray said. "I followed my plan to a tee and it appears everything for me is going in the right direction. I'm ready to go all out at the worlds."
In the women's open, Sunni-Anne Ball of King City, Ont., reclaimed the title she won in 2003. Ball was ranked sixth this year on the Wakeboard Tour.
"I didn't ride very well but it was enough to win," said the 20-year-old Ball, who also headed to the worlds. "If I can land my run properly then I think it is good enough to win at the worlds."
In the men's junior final, 19-year-old Anthony Hollick of Regina claimed his first national title.
