Apex Athletes

From Ocala, Florida, Erin recalls growing up skating at the local roller rink from as far back as she can remember, starting inline speedskating in 2003. After an illustrious career and having reached the pinnacle of competition in both inline skating and roller derby, Erin knew if she wanted a shot at the Olympics she needed to switch to the ice.



In September of 2017, she packed her bags and moved to Salt Lake City, UT, home of the U.S. National Speedskating Team, with her sights set on what she hoped could be a berth on the 2022 Olympic Team. In January of 2018, she electrified the crowd at the 2018 U.S. Olympic Team Trials and earned her spot on the team, becoming the first black American woman in history to ever do so. 



Erin further cemented her place in history by becoming the first black American woman to win a World Cup in November 2021. A few months later at Beijing 2022, she won the gold medal in the Womens 500m speed skating event.
