PERSONAL: Born in Portland, Ore. ... Daughter of Dane and Elaine Kristensen ... Has one sister, Erika ... Her father played golf at West Valley Community College and her sister played soccer at Northwest Nazarene University ... Majoring in physics ...

Favorites include Bradley Wiggins (pro athlete), A Farewell to Arms (book), Breakfast at Tiffany's (movie), Avatar: The Last Airbender (movie), Ed Sheeran (musical artist), Scandanavian (food) and cycling (sport other than running) ... Favorite thing about running is "the encouragement from teammates to push yourself farther than you thought you could."
