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

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]

Career

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]
