| EJ writing
on Emily:
Who is Emily Jackson? She is
one very special young lady. Her character is
rock solid; she is incredibly smart; beautiful,
and, an accomplished athlete at age 17. She has
developed from a new kayaker on the scene in 2003,
into the girl to beat in 2007, in the Pro Women’s
class as well as in the junior women’s class.
Her river running and creeking skills have soared
in the past year opening up a whole new world
of paddling to her. She will be tackling the Zambezi
and Nile Rivers this winter, while preparing for
the 2006 World Cup. Team JK is extremely lucky
to have this talented young lady on board, and
even luckier that her last name is Jackson.
