Career edit
After graduating from Old Dominion University, Roble dedicated herself to professional sports, being one of the founders of the Epic Racing team, in the Match Race category. As team captain, she won two bronze medals at the 2014 and 2015 World Championships, as well as being the 2014 champion of the Women's Match Racing International Series.[1]
In 2019, Roble won the silver medal at the Pan American Games, in the 49er FX class. Her partner was her compatriot Maggie Shea. The team was defeated by the Brazilian Olympic champion duo, Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze, who won nine of the twelve races. Much more balanced was against Argentina's Victoria Travascio and María Sol Branz, which ended with an advantage of one point less lost to the Americans after the Argentines were disqualified from the medal race.[2][3]
In 2020, Roble won her first major result at the international level, the bronze medal in the 49er & 49er FX World Championships of the 49er FX class, in Geelong, Australia. With this result, she and her partner Shea earned the right to represent the United States at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.[4]
