Chasing an Olympic Dream
Sports have been part of Chelsea Hollingsworth-Barnhill’s life since childhood. “I was a year-round swimmer and a year-round basketball player doing lots of sports every day after school,” she says. “I would go from swim practice to basketball practice.” Little did she know that a knee injury sustained in middle school would set her on a course to be the highly accomplished runner and triathlete she is today.
The injury in question was due to a condition called trochlear dysplasia, commonly referred to as an unstable kneecap. “My kneecap is more susceptible to sliding out of place,” she explains. “Basketball was a lot of side-to-side movement.” But running—a sport without lateral movement—was safer. So in high school, Hollingsworth-Barnhill swapped basketball for running, where she excelled; eventually she was awarded a collegiate running scholarship to East Carolina University. She ran cross-country and track throughout her college career while earning a bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology in 2014 and a doctorate in physical therapy in 2017.
