During her 2014 Bowerman Award winning senior season, Roesler won her first 800 meter national title indoors, then went on to dominate the 800 meters with a ferocious kick at the NCAA Outdoor Championships (watch below). She set school records in the 800m indoors (2:01.32) and as part of the team in the 4x400m indoors (3:27.40) and outdoors (3:24.54). Her outdoor 800m best (1:59.04) ranks number 2 all-time at Oregon.
Not only was Roesler a force while in college, she also put together an impressive professional career, earning a silver medal at the 2016 USA Outdoor Championships, and a gold medal at the 2017 World Relays as part of the Team USA 4x800m squad.
As part of the 2024 class, she is joined by fellow Ducks:
