Lake jump

The pond is known as Champions Pond or “Poppy's Pond” as it was dubbed in 2006 honor of Terry Wilcox, the tournament director since 1994; Wilcox is known as “Poppy” to his grandchildren.^[1] Amy Alcott started the practice but it was not fully embraced until 1994 when Donna Andrews took the leap and it has since become a yearly tradition.
