About

Abigail grew up in Lake Placid and started skiing at the age of 5. She started doing biathlon with air rifles at the age of 8, and competed in her first biathlon race, the International Children's Winter Games, in 2019. At 13, she joined the NYSEF Junior team and competed in both biathlon and nordic skiing all throughout high school. Currently, she is taking a post grad year to train with Maddie Phaneuf and the NYSEF Pro team as well as studying aviation in hopes to get her Private Pilots License this spring.

Outside of biathlon, Abigail enjoys biking, go-karting, photography, crocheting, spending time with friends and family.
