As an American freestyle wrestler, Adeline is a six-time World Champion and has competed in two Olympic Games. She earned her first Olympic medal, a silver at the 2020 Summer Olympics. Encouraged by her parents, Adeline began wrestling at the age of six. At a young age, she wrestled the boys, setting the foundation for a trailblazing career. She earned both her undergraduate and master’s degrees fromDeVry University, all while maintaining elite-level training and competing internationally as a member of Team USA.

Adeline holds the distinction of being the first American woman wrestler to win six world championships. After giving birth to twins, she returned to competition at the2023 World Championships, where she captured a bronze medal—also securing Team USA’s heavyweight Olympic quota spot. She is also the first female wrestler to have her own signature wrestling shoe, which she designed in partnership with ASICS.
