Hannah Halvorsen has seen big improvements in her endurance over the 2015-16 season, making her a threat in both distance and sprinting results. Highlighting the season, she took top 15s and a top five at the U.S. Championships and advanced to three SuperTour sprint finals, which earned her a spot to compete at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway and the U18 Scandinavian Championships in Otepaa, Estonia.

Halvorsen added to these impressive results in the spring, when she sprinted to a Junior National Championship title in the freestyle sprint race. Halvorsen has proved throughout the season that she is one to watch for in the future, as she makes her debut on the U.S. Cross Country Ski Team Development Team for the 2016-17 season.  

FIRST TRACKS
Halvorsen was introduced to skiing as a family lifestyle when she was two years old growing up in Truckee, CA. She started racing at 11 and has competed in four Junior Nationals, three U18 Nations’ Cups, and the Winter Youth Olympic Games.

OFF THE SNOW
When Hannah is not traveling and training for skiing, she is usually with her five younger siblings. The whole family loves the mountains and spends most of their time outdoors. In the past summers she has competed in Olympic distance triathlons. She also likes watching Seinfeld, reading, drawing and making her own clothing.
