Egan went on to found the Wellesley Nordic Skiing club team and was the first athlete to represent Wellesley in NCAA Nordic skiing, competing in the NCAA Championships during her senior year. After graduating from Wellesley in 2010 with a degree in International Communication, she competed in Nordic Skiing for a year at the University of New Hampshire while working toward her graduate degree in Linguistics. She was named to the U.S. Biathlon team's World Championship team roster in 2015.
