Timeline
Later that calendar year, in the following season, she took the first World Cup win for an American female skier since the introduction of women's competition in 1978 in another 1.2 kilometre sprint at the same venue.
Randall lived in Salt Lake while her mother attended law school at the University of Utah.
In the mid-1980s, she moved to Anchorage, Alaska with her parents, where her younger siblings, Tanner and Kalli were born.
Originally she had ambitions to race as an alpine skier, as well as to run for an NCAA Division I college.
She ran a 6:06 minute mile in sixth grade at Scenic Park Elementary, but Kikkan's goal was to run a five-minute mile by high school.
Kikkan Randall wanted to attend East High school because she wanted to wear red and blue just like her mom and aunt and that lead to Randall winning 10 state titles at East Anchorage High School — seven in track and three in cross-country running.
She was announced the fastest girl on skis and she is the last Alaskan state speed-skiing champion.

Randall's parents, Ronn and Deborah (née Haines) originally met at a California ski resort.
