Biographical Information

Anna Gibson was raised in Jackson, Wyoming. She won 17 overall Wyoming state titles in three sports: track, cross country, and Nordic skiing, while also being named the valedictorian of her high school class.

Gibson attended the University of Washington, focusing on cross country and track and field, excelling especially in middle-distance running. In 2024, she made the 1500m semifinal at the U.S. Olympic Trials. The following year, Gibson would win a bronze medal in the women’s uphill 6km event while representing Team USA at the World Mountain and Trail Running World Championships.

She was recruited to the U.S. ski mountaineering team by 13-time national champion Cam Smith because of her background in Nordic Skiing and track and field. In her first-ever World Cup race, Gibson, alongside Smith, became the first American team ever to win a mixed relay World Cup event.   By winning the race, they qualified the U.S. for an Olympic berth at the Winter Olympics Milano Cortina 2026 where SkiMo will make its Winter Games debut. 

Gibson, after winning her first race: “It feels so normal to be here, which is crazy, because this is my first one. It just feels right you know?. I’m all about this sport. This is so fun. I’m not about to stop doing anything else I’m doing, but there will be lots more of this in my future.”
