Kristin Danielson Rhodes - Class of 1993

rhodesAfter high school, Kristin Danielson Rhodes attended San Diego State University where she threw the hammer, discus, and javelin as a student-athlete for the Women’s Track Team.

After college, Kristin began training for Strongwoman competitions under the guidance of her husband, Donald Rhodes, first competing in 2006. In the time since her training began, Kristin has become one of the most accomplished Strongwoman competitors in the world.

In addition to her numerous competition victories, Kristin also holds a variety of Strongwoman World and American records:

  • Atlas Stone 309 lbs. to 44” (no tacky) - Rogue Record Breakers 2018
  • Circus Dumbbell–180 lbs. - Rogue Record Breakers 2020 - American Women’s Record

  • American Deadlift Record-616 lbs. - Rogue Record Breakers-March 2020

Kristin does all this while being a businesswoman and a mother of three. As she says herself, “I’ve set my goals really high….I think the competitiveness inside myself just continues to drive me to see what is possible.”

Her nomination stated: “A fierce competitor who is humble and gracious in victory and defeat, Kristin Rhodes is the epitome of what it means to be a Foothiller. She is a role model which all Foothillers, past, present and future, can be proud of.”
