Jenny Atkinson is a professional lumberjill, currently
ranked first in the world in log rolling and fourth

to her craft is clear and her current rankings and
past accolades within her sport are proof of such.
Always a top competitor at STIHL events, she is a
proud member of Team STIHL.
But Jenny's not just an accomplished athlete; she

gardening,
skiing, fishing, snowmobiling and kayaking.
2007 Season Recap
When the recipe comes out for the "dream season," my 2007 competitions held most
of the important ingredients. I had incredible outcomes in both log rolling & boom
running at all of the top competitions. My pre-season training was awesome and
I was ready to hit the logs when the ice melted! I have supportive sponsors (STIHL,
Oberto Beef Jerky, Wood-Mizer, Idaho Chucks & Starfish Point) that I was proud
to team up with again for a winning season……MANY THANKS! read
