The University of Florida won the team title at the third annual Collegiate Wakeboard Nationals on Sunday in Boulder, Colo. The Gators defeated Texas A&M in the finals. Defending champion Central Florida along with UNC-Wilmington were the other two teams that advanced to the final four. Twelve of the nation's top collegiate wakeboarding teams participated in the event.

The Collegiate Wakeboard Nationals was being held as part of CBS College Sports Network's Collegiate Nationals, a festival of events that crowns national champions in 11 sports. Malibu Boats served as the official towboat for the Collegiate Wakeboard Nationals, which was held at the Boulder Reservoir.

The tournament was conducted in a head-to-head format. Each team was seeded and paired against another school. Each team was allowed four male wakeboard athletes, two female wakeboard athletes, and one wakeskate athlete (a wakeboard division rider was allowed to ride in the wakeskate division).

In the finals, Florida got victories from Scott Hopkins, Chris Beckman, Carolyn Fortson and Olga Timofeeva. Texas A&M was led by Cameron Talbert, Mitch Fields and Keith Steinbeck, who all earned victories in the finals.

In the individual competition, Steinbeck won wakeskating, Texas A&M's Courtney Harris won women's wakeboarding and Sacramento State's Dan Bright won men's wakeboarding.
