Photographer Wayne Meverden has spent many years shooting events on the whitewater course at Wausau, Wisconsin. He has hundreds and hundreds of old-fashioned slides, and recently he has been scanning them and posting them on Face Book. There are great shots of many of the U.S.'s best: Cathy and Davey Hearn, Rebecca and Eric Giddens, Lecky Haller, Scott Shipley, Scott Parsons, Brett Heyl, and more.
And there's also a shot of yours truly. I believe this was taken at the 1998 U.S. Team Trials.
The course at Wausau is in a channel of the Wisconsin River below a hydroelectric dam. Whitewater features were added to the riverbed, and a spillway gate was installed in the dam at the head of the channel to allow for precise releases for events.
