Bio

Sarah began her cycling career at age eight when introduced to the sport by her father, Cliff. Sarah was a quick study with her first junior national title coming in 1995; the same year that Rebecca Twigg won the last womena™ World Championship Track gold medal for the United States. Eleven years later, and twenty national titles later, Sarah put an end to America’™s gold medal drought by taking the win and rainbow World Championship jersey in Bordeaux, France. Sarah has now squarely set her sights on another goal – a gold medal in the Beijing Olympics.

Sarah’s pursuit for perfection seems to go well beyond the #1 world ranking she owns within the sport of cycling. Besides being at the top of the sport, Sarah also strives to live an an all-around™ life. Sarah spends time developing her ˜off-the-bike™ gifts as she diligently works to excel in her undergraduate studies, loyal personal and professional relationships and raising two spirited yet disciplined canines.
