Men's K1 - Scott Parsons
Men's C1 - Benn Fraker
Women's K1 - Heather Corrie
C2 Team - Casey Eichfeld and Ricky Powell
Benn, Casey and Ricky have all moved to Charlotte in the past year to train for these elite spots. We've had the fortune of having Casey work throughout the 2008 season at Kayak Front Desk.
Needless to say we are really proud of Casey and are thrilled to say that we have an Olympian working for us.
Casey has been paddling since he was two and was the youngest person in the history of USA Canoe/ Kayak to make the US junior team. After beginning international competition at the age of 14, Casey and Ricky just placed 7th in the world this last week in Ausberg. And, what we think is super cool; At the age of 10 Casey was highlighted in Sports Illustrated as the next Olympic hopeful.
All of us in Kayak Operations send out a huge congratulations to these fine athletes and can't wait to watch the five of them represent the United States this August.
