First Black Woman To Qualify Jackson, a 25-year-old from Florida, has only been long-track speedskating for four months after switching over from dominating inline skating competitions where she was a three-time roller sports athlete of the year. How exciting!

Quite an accomplishment since she has only been speed skating four months!

It is fantastic. She is a powerful skater. My DS is an inline speed skater so we have been admiring Erin for years.  |

As an inline speed coach, and mom of an inline speed skater, I've been watching Erin for a few years and she has continued to impress me. She is a total beast on skates, and she is a wonderful "roll" model for inline and ice youngsters. Can't wait to see what her future holds. Just think what another 4 years will do with her talent!
