USA 49erFX Team Going for Gold in the Paris Olympics

About Us

 

GOING FOR MORE in PARIS.

 

Steph and Maggie met as Laser Radial competitors during high school, became great friends and ultimately teammates on the 29er, 420 and professional match racing circuit. This Midwestern duo has been competing with and against each other for 15 years now. Individually they have won world championship medals, national titles and All American Honors.

Together they are going for gold at the Paris Olympics. 

"We push each other to be better every single day - on and off the water. When I think I've found my limit, Steph helps me push just a little further. And I challenge her in the same way. We are fiercely competitive individuals, and as a team, we constantly push beyond our limits" -Maggie

Along the way we hope to do more than stand on a podium. We’ve been inspired by the strong women who have carved a path in the sport of sailing and the pro sailing industry. We hope to build on the progress they've made and increase the opportunities for the next generation of females in our sport.

We hold ourselves to the highest standard of sportsmanship - on and off the water. We promise to demonstrate to our peers, family, friends and country that not only do we have what it takes, but that we will give everything in its pursuit.

"We respect that winning is a process, and promise to work harder everyday. We know that this journey will demand strength, perseverance and dedication." -Steph
