Rosie Brennan (born December 2, 1988) is an American cross-country skier.[1] On 13 December 2020, she became the second American cross-country skier to win back-to-back World Cup races, after Kikkan Randall in 2011.[2] She has represented the United States at several World Championships and Winter Olympic Games.

Early life and education

[edit]

Brenan was born and raised in Park City, Utah. She started skiing at the age of 14. She attended Park City High School.[3]

Brenan earned a bachelor's degree in geography at Dartmouth College and a master's degree from Alaska Pacific University.[3][4]

She represented the United States at the 2015 World Championships in Falun, the 2017 World Championships in Lahti, the 2018 Winter Olympics,[5] and the 2019 World Championships in Seefeld.[6]
