About #
Cheresa began doing biathlon in 2016, at the age of 15. There is a biathlon range at her home trails, so her parents encouraged her to give biathlon a shot! Her idol/biggest influencer is Jesus and her favorite venue to race at is Mt. Itasca.
Outside of biathlon, Cheresa enjoys climbing, spelunking, hiking, outdoor games, running, hanging out with family, watching funny movies, reading, writing and studying theology.
