Katharine Ogden’s Highs and Lows

The Cross Country Skier Podcast

In spring 2017, the same year Katharine Ogden anchored the bronze-medal-winning Junior World Championships relay and became the first American to podium in an individual Junior World Championships race, she was diagnosed with a near-crippling anxiety disorder that threatened to derail her racing career. But two years later, she’s skiing for Dartmouth College, recently won her third NCAA title and is balancing a school schedule with racing nationally and abroad. Fresh back from the Colby Carnival, Ogden sat down with Peter Graves to talk about how she’s dealt with her anxiety, the nuances of racing on the Tour de Ski and what it feels like to compete among her heroes.
