Dicksie Ann Hoyt, 17, tan and trim, water-skied through arctic temperatures in the slalom and tricks events at Pine Mountain, Ga., then jumped an incredible 85 feet for a perfect score of 4,000 to win first position on the U.S. world water-ski team.
Lanny Wadkins, 13, of Richmond, shot a 69 and 70 on the par-72 Rio Pinar course in Orlando, Fla., to win the 13-15 age division of the National Pee-Wee Golf Championship, an easy victory for Lanny, who has often held his own in grownup tournaments.
Christine (Kiki) Caron, 15, of France, backstroked her way over 100 meters in 1:09.8, third best time in history, to become the first European girl to beat 1:10. Elated and still improving, Kiki plans to top her new European record with a 1:08 by 1964 Olympics.

Bob McKinley, 12, of St. Ann, Mo., dropped only one set in the Missouri Valley junior tennis championships to, win the 14-year-old-and-under singles title, setting a fast pace, while big brother Chuck, 22, followed suit by winning the men's championship at Wimbledon.
Mrs. Ernest Primm of Reno, where flying high without an engine is commonplace, set a state altitude record for soaring as she sent her Schweitzer 123H sailplane into thermals east of Mt. Rose for an indicated altitude of 31,500 feet and a true altitude of 32,644 feet.
