Evy Tokyo 2020 Olympics!
Hi, I'm Evy, a Tokyo 2020 Olympic hopeful in canoe slalom!
At the 2019 World Championships, I qualified a spot for the U.S. to send a women's canoe (WC1) to Tokyo 2020. It's the first time women's canoe will be contested in the Olympics, and it would be a great honor to represent the U.S.!
Even though the Olympics have been postponed until 2021, I'm training hard every day, with my sights set on Tokyo. I do whitewater workouts most days, and I lift weights, run, and mountain bike to cross-train. An extra year of training means I'll be even more prepared to race in Tokyo!
As you may know, there's not much funding for our sport in the U.S. That means athletes have to rely on the generosity of friends, family, and other supporters. Any level of support you can give helps me train, travel, and get to the Olympics!
Please consider making a donation and sharing this campaign with your friends and family to help spread the word (send me a message if you'd prefer to make a donation by cash or check).
Here's to Tokyo in 2021!

So excited to be training on big whitewater in Charlotte again!!! It looks like France and Slovenia will host World Cup races later this year. Fingers crossed that the U.S. athletes will be able to travel to Europe soon to train and compete!

I've had my sights set on the Tokyo 2020 Olympics since I was about eight years old. It's been a tough couple of weeks with all the uncertainty, but I know it's the right decision to postpone the Games. I'm still training hard, and I look forward to Tokyo in 2021! Stay safe and healthy!

Part of training happens out of the boat. "Walking the course" gives me the chance to think about the fastest way to do the gates.
