Rosendahl, a member of Trojan Dive Club, is a three-time national champion. She recently represented the United States at the 2014 FINA World Junior Championships in September in Penza, Russia where she placed 13th in Girl A 3M.

She also attended the Pan American Sports Festival, which was held September 27-30 in Mexico City. There she placed fourth in Synchronized Women’s Platform and eighth in Women’s Platform.
