Sarah Lacina

Sarah Lacina (born July 9, 1984) is an American reality television show contestant, police officer, and professional mixed martial arts fighter. She is best known for competing on the reality show Survivor three times, winning Survivor: Game Changers in 2017. She also won The Challenge: USA in 2022.

Lacina was born in Muscatine, Iowa in 1984. She grew up in Muscatine with her parents Lorrie and Ronald. Her mother worked in law enforcement.

Lacina attended Muscatine High School where she was a four-sport athlete. In 1997, she qualified for the regional USA Track and Field Junior Olympics.

She then attended Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, earning a Bachelor's degree in social work in 2006. While in college, she was a member of the track and cross country teams.

After college, Lacina worked as a resource officer at Kennedy High School in Cedar Rapids. She joined the Cedar Rapids Police Department as a homicide investigator.

At the Cedar Rapids Police Department, she met officer Tom Grubb, a MMA fighter who inspired her to take up mixed martial arts. In January 2009, Lacina began training to become a boxer, with Joe Ruiz of the Apache Boxing Club at the Valhalla Club in Cedar Rapids. She competed in her first boxing match on August 29, 2009. In 2010, she competed in her first professional MMA fight, a first-round victory by submission.

Lacina's job with the Cedar Rapids Police Department has allowed her to take leave to participate in numerous competitive television shows.

In 2013, Lacina was one of eighteen castaways to compete on Survivor: Cagayan, the 28th season of Survivor. The theme of the season was "Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty." As a police officer, she started on the Brawn tribe called Aparri. She recognized that her teammate Tony Vlachos was also a police officer, and the two formed an alliance called Cops-R-Us. Aparri won the first four immunity challenges, but after the tribe swap, she was the only original Aparri member to remain on that tribe. Ultimately, Lacina finished in eleventh place and was the first member of the jury.
