June 6, 2025

Park City, UT (June 6, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ — ROKA, the performance design company renowned for its cutting-edge gear for triathlon and endurance athletes, proudly announces its partnership with rising American triathlon star Reese Vannerson.

At just 20 years old, Vannerson clinched his first World Triathlon Cup victory on May 10, 2025, in Chengdu, China. In his Olympic-distance debut, he delivered a thrilling final sprint to secure the win. Reese will now focus on the World Cup circuit, World Triathlon Championship Series, and eye the U23 World Championship in October.

Vannerson’s rapid ascent in the triathlon world is rooted in a diverse athletic background and standout High School track career. A native of Richmond, Texas, and graduate of Strake Jesuit College Preparatory, Reese captured the UIL Texas 6A state championships in both the 1600m and 3200m events during his senior year.

ROKA Multisport CEO, Kurt Spenser said, “Reese is an incredibly dedicated and exciting young athlete. He represents a new generation of inspiring triathletes that we are confident will take the sport to new heights.  It’s an honor to partner with him at the outset of his professional career.”

As part of this partnership, Vannerson will train and compete using ROKA’s latest high-performance equipment, including the award-winning Maverick wetsuit and custom-designed race apparel tailored for the World Championship Series.

“Looking to find areas of improvement, I was looking for a wetsuit that gave me everything I needed. After trying countless brands and models, ROKA gave me the opportunity to try the Maverick and from that point forward I haven’t looked back. I’ve been able to put together some of my best swims with this wetsuit and I’m so excited to be joining the crew!”

Vannerson is a member of USA Triathlon’s elite development squad, Project Podium, which focuses on grooming athletes for future Olympic success. He will split his season training in Tempe, Arizona and Park City, Utah.
