There’s no slowing down for Abbott off the track. A 4x First Team All-American, B1G Champion and MI 400m State Record Holder, the 22-year-old multifaceted athlete is also chasing her dreams in the music and acting industry, bringing her purpose-driven character to singing and songwriting as ‘Chloe B’.
“I chose On because their team sees me as more than an athlete. My whole life, I’ve always had to choose between running and my music and acting career. Over time, I learned that I can’t have one without the other,” said Abbott of her choice to partner with the Swiss running brand. “My first conversation with On was a breath of fresh air. I connected with a brand that has a similar vision and wants what I want for myself and professional athletes all over the world: a chance to compete at high levels while also having a team that supports me in what I love off the track.”
Backed by her faith, family and supportive community, ambitious Abbott has set the stage for her professional running debut as an On athlete.
