Story of a Classmate


Focus Statement: An 18 year old boy who is a skilled wake boarder in his free time.

Logan Schleicher, an eighteen year old senior at Eastview High School might not look like the type to enjoy the outdoors or even enjoy the risky sport of wakeboarding, but he does.  In his free time, you will find Logan at his cabin in Mankato, Minnesota behind a boat doing 180’s and 360’s on a wakeboard.  Logan first learned this awesome activity from his older brother Derek who taught him about three years ago.  At first, he was a little nervous about going behind a fast boat and possibly risking any injuries from it, but soon enough he wasn’t nervous at all.  He picked up on it right away and within weeks, he became a pro.  He loves the feeling of just going out on the water and feeling like he can do anything on that wakeboard.  Nothing will stop Logan, “I have fallen off numerous times, but none of them stop me.  I always get right back up and go again.”  Logan knows what he’s doing and he’s very fearless when it comes to wakeboarding.   In the summer time, stop by the lake in Mankato and you will find Logan doing those 180’s and 360’s on his wakeboard with not a care in the world around him.  All he is focused on is becoming better and having fun while doing something he loves: wakeboarding.
