Sarah was born on March 13th, 1981 in St. Louis, MO. She started her athletic career at the age of five, competing on a summer swim team. She excelled at swimming and running throughout high school, which led to an athletic scholarship in track and field at the University of Tulsa. It wasn't until the summer after graduating that she competed in her first triathlon – her sister signed her up without her knowledge, and she has continued to compete in them ever since, finishing second at the USA Nationals in both 2006 and 2007.
