| Emily's bio... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Besides sport stacking, Emily's passionate about basketball, and her stacking skills have translated into her having been one of the top point guards for her age in the state during her highschool years. Emily attributed her strong left- and right-hand ball-handling skills and quickness as a point guard directly to stacking. Her ball handling skills started being noticed by college coaches when she was in 8th-grade. Also while in high school, Emily played on a competitive basketball team and traveled around the country to tournaments. She was a starter on her high school varsity team beginning as a freshman. She was featured on a Nickelodeon segment that showed her breaking the World Record in the Cycle. She's a top student, who besides stacking and playing basketball, loves to water-ski. She is also a juggler and can ride a 7-foot unicycle. |

Emily is currently a freshman at the University of Minnesota. As a scholarship athlete, Emily will play for the Golden Gophers Womens Basketball Team. When she was a high school senior, she helped lead her Colorado high school team to its third consecutive state basketball championship. Emily did not compete in the 2005 World Sport Stacking Championships due to a conflict with basketball, however she did try to break her world record in the Cycle during the Opening Ceremonies. With TV cameras zoomed in and a Guinness representative on hand, her best attempt was 7.55 seconds—just shy of the 7.43 world record. Because of NCAA eligibility rules, Emily’s visibility with Speed Stacks and sport stacking will be limited during her four-year college career. |
