SLCC Student Erin Jackson Wins Speedskating Gold

The entire Salt Lake Community College family offers a huge congratulations to SLCC student Erin Jackson on winning the gold medal Sunday in the women’s 500-meter speedskating event during the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. It’s the first time Team USA has won gold in that event since 1994.

Jackson is the first Black woman to win a speedskating gold medal for Team USA and the first Black woman on the US Speedskating (USS) team. A proud SLCC student, Jackson was featured on the USA Network, talking about her relationship with SLCC and how she has already earned one degree at the college and is working toward another. Jackson, who earned a bachelor’s degree in Florida, says school is her “hobby.”

Erin trains at the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns.

A big congratulations also goes out to SLCC student and USS speedskater Ethan Cepuran for winning a bronze medal in the team pursuit race Tuesday.

More USS skaters who are also SLCC students or alumni continue to compete through the end of the Olympics Feb. 20. Keep up with all of USS’ pursuits during the Winter Games.

Go, Team USA!
