| BACKGROUND:
Amy's passion with the sport of skeleton was ignited when a friend dragged her to an Alberta Skeleton Association Discover Skeleton session.
After just three years as a competitive skeleton athlete, Amy had a podium finish at every Europa Cup competition she competed in during the 2005-2006 season, earning a fourth-place finish in the overall Europa Cup standings.
Ready to make the next step and race against the elite athletes in the sport, Amy is quickly emerging into one of the top athletes in the world. During her rookie season on the World Cup in 2006-07, Amy posted five top-10 finishes, and placed seventh in the Overall World Cup standings. Last season, the Abbotsford, B.C. native competed her second consecutive season on the Intercontinental Cup where she finished with three victories and one silver medal.
Amy's consistency on th World Cup and Intercontinental circuits earned her a spot at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. She finished 7th in her first ever Olympics.
Amy has a passion for sports and has an athletic background as a rugby player in B.C. Amy would like to thank her full sponsorship received from DAN-U-TEC Industries Ltd. and Encana Corp.
