Annie Rodenfels graduated from Kentucky's Centre College in 2019 after winning three NCAA Division III championships. Those consisted of two 3,000m Steeplechase crowns (2017 & 18) and over 5,000m in 2018.; She also placed third in the 2018 NCAA DIII national cross country championships. Following her senior she competed in the 2019 USA Track & Field national championships in the Steeplechase.
She joined ASICS GTC-ELITE IN August 2019, where she ran personal bests at 1500m, 3,000m indoor and outdoor, 5,000m track, and road 8K, She improved her 5,000m time from 16:35.4 to 15:35.18 and her 3,000m best from 9:54.38 to 9:13.8. Her 5,000m ranked 33rd in the USA for 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Annie was unable to contest her specialty event, the 3000m Steeplechase, during 2020. However, she did set the South Carolina state record for residents for the 5K with a time of 16:09 and was ranked number one in the South Carolina Road Race Rankings for most of 2020. Her state record in the 5K was honored as the Top Performance for SC road racing for 2020.
