Hydrofoil NewsUSHA announces 2009 RankingCompetitors are ranked by USHA after the 2009 season using the results from the competitions. Ranking isn't utilized in tournament placement or anything formal, but it is a way to recognize those athletes who are competing at the top of their game in their peer group. Also, this allows riders to gain more sponsorship opportunities as they arise for top competitors in the sport.Check out the 2009 Rider Rankings USA-WS Overall Award Winners for 2009Voting has been completed for the 2009 USA-WS awards.
