Description
Caroline Queen is an American slalom canoer. At the 2012 Summer Olympics she competed in the K-1 event, finishing 17th in the heats, failing to qualify for the semifinals. She is a student at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina.
Caroline first began paddling slalom at Valley Mill Camp in her hometown of Darnestown, MD at the age of nine. She soon entered regular training in the summer of 2002, when she began working with the US Junior Team coach, Martin Nevaril. With Martin?s guidance, she blossomed as a young paddler. In 2006, then fourteen-year-old Queen attended her first US National team trials, when surprised the slalom community by winning Day 2 of the competition. The following year, Queen began training with National Team coach Silvan Poberaj. With help from both Poberaj and former team member Joe Jacobi, she became the youngest woman ever to make the US National team. She has been on the National Team since then, competing every year except 2009 when she suffered an ACL injury. Now an Olympian, she continues to train in Charlotte, NC. She attended The Bullis School in Potomac, MD.
