Scott Parsons

USA Canoe/Kayak

Scotty, as he's called by his friends, is one of the most loved paddlers in the USA. There is certainly a lot to like about him. His paddling style is a combination of the strength he has earned from years of training and the technical grace that makes him so fun to watch.

USA Canoe/Kayak

Hi! I'm Hailey, and I'm a teenage whitewater paddler from Wisconsin. I've been paddling since I was pretty small, and have recently taken up competition, both in Slalom and Freestyle. As well as paddling, I enjoy telemark skiing, cross-country skiing, backpacking, camping, climbing, doing artwork, and being with friends and family.

Benn Fraker

USA Canoe/Kayak

Benn was born young, and his youth lasted until he was 12. Then he began to train.  He skipped his teens and went right to 20.  The next 7 years was a progressive series of bad haircuts and colors (the current being long and black). He acheived most goals, with a few near misses, until finally he made the Olympic team.
