❸ She can't resist a good flat white, especially with unique latte art. Flat white is a coffee drink consisting of a stronger taste of espresso with a thin topping microfoam, hence, the flat. She also loves the process of making her own sourdough.

❹ Sarah became interested in cycling in 2017, when she was recruited for cycling through a talent identification program called RBC Training Ground, an initiative that identifies the next generation of Olympic athletes. She was given the opportunity to try out track cycling and instantly knew that she wanted to pursue it.

❺ Her biggest accomplishment thus far is winning a silver medal in the Team Sprint at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.

Follow Sarah on  Instagram or Twitter as she sets her path forward to the 2024 Summer Olympic Games.
