Quotable: “Berta has an extensive training and racing background and has won multiple championships, both national and international, and is the reigning World Champion in the 29er class. We are looking forward to leveraging her already-proven winning methods into the collegiate game. Her coaches describe her as an all-time hard worker, someone who relentlessly practices every skill until she has perfected it. She is a true team player, always looking to raise the bar of the entire group of sailors and coaches she is training with.” - Brian Swingly
