At Boston College, Erika Reineke ’17 was a four-time national sailing champion. Now, she’s representing the U.S. at the Paris Olympic Games.

Erika Reineke ’17 loves competition—whether it’s racing a sailboat through choppy waters at international regattas or spiking a volleyball in a mud-filled parking lot at Boston College—and this summer she’s headed to the biggest contest of her life.

As a member of the U.S. national sailing team, Reineke will race in the Paris Olympic Games, a goal she’s been chasing for 15 years.
