The U.S. Olympic Committee announced yesterday that the cross country roster for the Beijing Olympics next month will include Julia Kern ’19, a first-time Olympian, and Rosie Brennan ’11, an eight-time All-American at ÏßÉ϶ij¡ who competed in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

This video was compiled with footage gathered over the U.S. Cross Country Team’s 2020-2021 World Cup season by Kern and edited with interviews by ÏßÉ϶ij¡â€™s Robert Gill. It features Kern, Brennan, and World Cup skiers Sophie Caldwell Hamilton ’12 and Katharine Ogden ’21 talking about their ÏßÉ϶ij¡ bond and competing at the highest level of their sport.

The U.S. cross country teammates stress how much they value the flexibility of a ÏßÉ϶ij¡ education and the D-Plan, which allow athletes, and other students, to excel outside and inside the classroom.
