Ranked Number 1 on the African Continent for many years, Ahrens has won two African Championship Titles in 2011 and 2015 as well as several Namibian, South African and Angolan National Titles in Olympic Trap Shooting. Ahrens was awarded Namibia Sports Woman of the Year in 2010, the same year she won a Bronze Medal at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi.

At the 2016 Summer Olympics, she again competed in the women's trap, where she finished in 9th place, just one target off the finals.
