We're excited to welcome back champion triathlete Sarah Haskins to the blueseventy family. Our sponsorship manager Ryan Vanderloop looks forward to working with Haskins over the next few years. “Sarah’s experience, past success and aim toward 70.3 and Ironman speaks for itself when you look at her resume of individual and series titles.” Haskins calendar for the rest of 2016 contains the iconic Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon, The New York City Triathlon, 70.3 events and the ITU Long Course World Championships where she will look to win her first world title. Vanderloop continues, “This partnership comes at time when we can work with Sarah on product innovations and concepts we have in testing. Sarah has an amazing personality and will be an invaluable brand ambassador for us. This makes Escape from Alcatraz this weekend even more exciting for blueseventy.”

Sarah tested suits and goggles in advance of signing with blueseventy and reflected on history coming full circle, "I competed in blueseventy back around the time I first became a pro so it is fun to be back with a company that has a special place in my triathlon history.  I swam in the HELIX and it fit perfectly.  It was comfortable, I loved the feel of the material throughout the suit and the flexibility in the arms was amazing.  I also enjoyed the Element goggles as the visibility was outstanding and will be great for open water.  They were very comfortable and the smaller frames fit my face well.”

Haskins began competing in triathlons after graduating from the University of Tulsa where she competed on the cross country and track programs. She turned pro the following year in 2004. Four years later she competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing finishing 11th. Other career highlights include a silver medal at the ITU World Championships in 2008, 2-time Lifetime Fitness Cup Champion (2009, 2011) and a gold medal at the 2011 Pan American Games. Sarah and her husband, Nathan Kortuem, welcomed the birth of a baby girl in July 2013. Learn more about Sarah at sarahhaskins.com
