High School: Smith is a 2021 graduate of Maple Grove Senior High School where she participated in five seasons of Nordic skiing and cross country and four seasons of track. She earned all-conference cross country honors in 2020, and in track she was part of the all-conference 4x800-meter relay in 2018 and 2021 and earned all-conference honorable mention in the 800 in 2021. She also earned all-conference honors in Nordic skiing in 2020 and 2021. The proudest moment of Smith’s career so far was qualifying as an individual for the 2021 State Nordic Skiing meet; it had been a tough season physically and mentally so qualifying helped to see the hard work pay off.
