Awarded to the winner of the Women’s K-1 Junior 500m

Mimi was a top Junior in the United States. She paddled out of the Philadelphia area. She raced and became part of the American team that raced at the Junior World Championships in Yugoslavia in 1987. In the Fall of that same year she was enrolled and attending Dartmouth University.

While at Dartmouth she joined the Ledyard Canoe Club and engaged in their outing adventures. She traveled with the team to paddle the West River in Vermont and while on the river overturned and became entrapped in a strainer. Tragically, she died.

Her family and friends created this trophy to honor her and celebrate the hard work and love of life that each winner carries on with them in her name.
