Jack Ko Award For the love of dragonboat, and for the love of the team, this person has gone above and beyond his/her duties to the team. This is a super award for an extraordinary person. Personal note: If you consider the MVP to be the franchise of the team, then you might consider the recipient of this award to be the foundation of the team.

Tabitha Huang

Most Valuable

The franchise, the best performing paddler on and off the water.

Big appologies i missed most of the banquet; with a 5-hour transit i don't recall ever suffering a worse busing fiasco. When i finally got there i was totally disoriented with the mix of devastation from missing most of it and great honor of you all having voted me MVP. Try to imagine the brainwarp of laughing and crying simultaneously inside while keeping a straight face outside. Also had a full video presentation prepared of international races; big regret i did not get to show but trying to figure out another way to present to you all. Thanks again to all of you, and lets rock 2014.
