Emily Fox (born April 23, 1987) is an American former basketball player and former world record holder in sport stacking. She set the overall world record in the cycle (7.43 seconds) in April 2002 and the 3–6–3 (2.72 seconds). However, in 2006, her cycle record was beaten (by Robin Stangenberg from Germany with a time of 7.41 seconds). Her 3–6–3 record was also broken in 2007 by Robin Stangenberg and Yannick Zittlau of Germany with a time of 2.70 seconds. She has appeared on several television shows, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, to demonstrate her skills.

Emily is the eldest child of Bob Fox, the founder of Speed Stacks, and grew up in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Her two brothers, Kit and Brennan, are also successful at sport stacking. Kit also wrote a book and twice completed the Chicago Marathon.

Fox played basketball in high school and college. In her senior year at ThunderRidge High School, she led the team to a number 7 finish in the USA Today high school national poll and was named a Parade Magazine high school All-American. She played college basketball for the University of Minnesota. In her four years she averaged 11.7 points per game. In April 2009 she was drafted in the third round of the WNBA draft by the Minnesota Lynx. In 2007, she was a member of the gold medal–winning basketball team at the Pan American Games.[1]
