Thomas Bennett "Benn" Fraker (born February 23, 1989, in Rome, Georgia) is an American slalom canoer who has competed since the late 2000s. He finished sixth in the C-1 at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
==Background==
Fraker was born in Rome, Georgia, on February 23, 1989. He soon moved to Peachtree City, Georgia, where his family resides today. His parents, Tom and Marsha Fraker, support him by driving him to different parts of the country to paddle more challenging rivers. He has a younger brother, Davis, and a younger sister, Addie, who are involved in different athletic sports.〔"Benn Fraker." USA Canoe/Kayak. United States Olympic Committee , 2009. Web. 13 Sep 2010.〕 Davis is a 4A state record holder in track and field events discus, shot put, and hammer throw.〔Taylor, Bruce. "Athletic Profile." Universal Sports. MileSplit, 2010. Web. 28 Sep 2010. .〕 Benn has been training for over ten years in kayaking and canoeing. Initially he started by watching his father, Tom Fraker, paddle recreationally. He began playing with his dad's kayaking equipment in the pool, and later attempted to paddle down rivers. He was a soccer player until he developed Sever's disease in his heel, which is caused by overuse and small injuries to the growth plates. The disease required Fraker to stay off his feet. Kayaking and Canoeing allowed him to recover from the disease and still stay active in sports. He started to get involved in the sport around the age of eleven or twelve.〔Wiedeman, Reeves.
