She's run countless half-marathons but finally crossed a 26.2 mile marathon of her bucket list! Sarah is also a true farm-girl at heart and loves spending time outdoors or on the family farm, even if that means baling hay or fixing fence.

Depending on the sports season, you'll catch her in front of the television cheering on her favorite teams: the Packers, the Cubs, and the Iowa Hawkeyes.
