A graduate in chemistry from the University of Utah, Melisa Rollins initially worked as a medical lab technologist before transitioning to full-time cycling. Quite the career shift... Rollins is a force in the endurance off-road scene, and is the reigning campion of BOTH the Leadville Trail 100 MTB and the Iceman Cometh Challenge. She placed second overall in the elite women’s division of the Life Time Grand Prix series in 2024!

Now part of Liv Racing Collective, she manages her own sponsorships while continuing to dominate high-altitude and gravel races. Cycling is deeply personal for her, but the road is calling and we will see her at Levi's GranFondo this April.
