Dearing previously competed at the World Championships in Budapest in 2017, where she achieved a top-25 finish in the individual 10km event and helped achieve a placing of fifth against a talented international field in the Mixed 5km Team Relay.
Between those Worlds appearances, Dearing placed 12th over 10km at the 2018 European Championships.
