The Pioneers of Excellence Award Goes to...
Jerry Birds All Stars were together for five years and dominated Relative Work (RW) at the time. In 1972, Jerry Birds All Stars won the first official 10-star Nationals setting records for speed, fastest star and fastest total for six jumps ever. They were invited to the World Meet in Tahlequah and did 5-point sequential dives wearing smoke and jumping matching suits and canopys. At the end of the meet, the All Stars did a walk up 26-star on one attempt for a new world record.
