Abby Steiner was born to her parents, David Steiner and Mollie Steiner, on 24 November 1999 in Dublin. The 22-year-old grew up in Dublin alongside her two siblings, Riley and Jack.

Her father is a sales director at Four Roses Distillery, and her parents raised her in the Columbus suburb of Dublin. As a child, she was more focused on soccer than track and only started track and field in eighth grade, playing both in high school at Dublin Coffman High School.

Abby became a dual sport athlete with a scholarship at the University of Kentucky in 2018, but in 2022, she decided to focus on track and leave soccer behind. In an interview, she stated that her decision has helped her fully dive into the process of training and developing speed.

Her parents and her siblings are proud of the success Abby has gained in such a short period.

As an athlete, injuries are unavoidable, and our star track and field runner, Abby Steiner, has also had her fair share of injuries.

One of her severe injuries includes her ACL surgery in 2016 when she was still in her junior year of high school.

An ACL surgery is where you replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a crucial ligament in your knee that is even more of a concern for a track and field runner.

In a post on her Instagram, she thanked everyone for supporting her recovery and treatment. Abby further emphasized that her ACL surgery was a success, and she was on the road to recovery.

In her junior high year, Steiner also expressed her excitement to get better and start back with her sports.

The young athlete fully recovered and continued her sports career with soccer and track in mind. Now, she leads the nation into the World Championships after complete recovery and years of training.
