Sarah has always been serious about sports. She grew up playing soccer in Colorado and transitioned to jumping and hurdling on the track team in high school. She was recruited to Stanford as a triple and long jumper but halfway through her first year was converted to the hammer throw. By the time she graduated she held the school record and was honored as an All-American. Following her graduation from Stanford, she spent two years as a volunteer assistant throws coach while continuing to train. She finished her hammer career in third place at the 2008 Olympic Trials with a personal best throw of 68.60m. Following the Trials, Sarah spent a year running in the forests of Fontainebleau, France, and reflecting on what she could next focus her athletic energies.

After returning to San Francisco she found CrossFit and is now deeply committed to sharing the sport with as many people as possible due to the results she’s seen in herself and others. She’s never found anything more effective at training the full body to be strong and lean simultaneously and she enjoys passing on the great coaching she’s received throughout the years.
