Career

Dreissigacker comes from a family of Olympic rowers. Her father Richard "Dick" Dreissigacker competed in 1972,[3] her mother Julia "Judy" Geer in 1976 and 1984,[4] and her aunt Charlotte "Carlie" Geer won a silver medal in single sculls in the 1984 Olympics.[5][6] Her sister Emily Dreissigacker also competed in Biathlon at the 2018 Winter Olympics.[7]

She competed in cross-country skiing for Dartmouth College, where she graduated in 2009 with a degree in engineering and studio art, following in the footsteps of her parents, who were both engineers.[8]

Dreissigacker retired from biathlon in the spring of 2016, although she did subsequently compete in the 2017 edition of the Merino Muster marathon cross-country ski race in New Zealand, where she finished second among the women, behind winner Jessica Diggins.[9]

gollark: I have some JS which *almost* works, except it's *somehow* off by a few percent and it cuts off the bottom of the text.
gollark: Why is it that CSS makes it really easy to do complex layouts and such but there is literally no simple, working, consistent way - even with JS involved - to make a text area automatically fit its contents?!
gollark: Villains should really read the evil overlord list: http://eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html
gollark: Most villains in, well, media seem pretty stupid. They're just "ah yes I will be evil for no reason", do stupid things, and get surprised when they fail.
gollark: What is or isn't a bottleneck is obviously heavily dependent on what you actually do with your computer/what games you play/etc, and you can't get some convenient exact value, let alone one to ~~one decimal place~~ 3 significant figures.
