VAIL, CO - It's a world gone Jackson, and we're just paddling in it.
The
Jackson family made it a three-peat at the kayak pro rodeo at the Teva
Mountain Games Saturday. For the third year in a row, Eric, the father
of the family, won the men's title, while his daughter, Emily, 17,
topped the women's competition. And for good measure, Dane, 13, took
third behind his father and Stephen Wright.
"Unbelievable. Last year, Emily and I had a great round and I thought that was about as good as it gets," Eric said.
Glenwood
Springs High School graduate Ben Guska did not make it out of the
Saturday morning semifinals, scoring a 65 to take ninth place in a
field of 10. The top three scorers from semifinal action made
Saturday's early-evening finals.
Vanderhoof, West fall to East
Glenwood Springs resident Nic Vanderhoof and the
West failed in their bid to knock off the East in Sunday's East vs.
West amateur kayak freestyle finals.
Vanderhoof was one of three
men to qualify for the finals, held at Avon Whitewater Park.
Vanderhoof's West team combined to score a 138.5, eight points behind
the East.
The Western slopers were looking to win the showdown for a fifth straight year.
