Completely stepping away from running after graduating from CU Boulder, Carrie soon re-established her love for the sport, and returned to training and racing in 2019. She consistently improved her times, finding herself qualifying for the 2021 Olympic Trials, and placing 10th in the 5000 meters. With continued success ever since, Carrie is excited for 2024, when she will be competing not only in the Olympic Trials on the track, but also on the road, in the marathon. Living in Boulder now for over a decade, Carrie is a first grade teacher at Superior Elementary.

Through Aspire OTQ, Carrie wants to continue proving herself at the highest level, on her own terms, and inspiring others to do the same along the way.
