Rhinelander sisters Ella (left) and Sophie Miljevich (right) once again found themselves as the class of the field in the women's division of the Footstock National Figure Eight Barefoot Championships held last weekend in Crandon.

The event is a test of endurance to see who can hang on the longest while being towed by a ski boat that drives in a figure eight pattern in order to create wakes the competitors have to negotiate.

This year's final result was a bit of a twist, as Ella, an incoming eighth-grader, defeated Sophie, an incoming sophomore, in the finals. Sophie was the three-time defending champion in the event and defeated Ella for the title in the finals in 2021.
