Our Story
S.E.T. was founded by Casey and Henry Shoemaker who have a passion for sport and the exceptional experiences it provides. The Shoemaker’s multisport journey started with the second of their four daughters, Camille.
Camille began racing youth triathlons in 2015 and is currently racing in the Junior Elite Series. Henry joined the endurance community doing his first event in 2020 at the JFK 50-mile trail race. He did his first triathlon, Eagleman, in 2021.
Leadership Team
Henry Shoemaker (S.E.T. Co-founder, S.E.T./MMTC Youth Team Head Coach)
Henry is a USAT Certified Coach and was selected to coach at the 2022 USAT Paralympic Combine for future Paralympic hopefuls at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. That same year Henry founded the first youth triathlon team in Howard County.
Henry found his way to triathlon through his daughter Camille, whose first race was the Columbia Association Kids Triathlon at age 9. Camille later joined the MC Elite triathlon team in Mount Airy, MD, under legendary coach Christy Lausch.
Camille’s love and dedication to the sport of triathlon finally convinced Henry to enter his first triathlon in 2021 at Ironman Eagleman 70.3 (+2022 & 2023). Henry also completed Ironman Florida 70.3 (Haines City) 2022, and Ironman 70.3 Florida Gulf Coast 2023. Henry made his Ironman 140.6 debut in 2021 at Ironman Waco, which was deemed toughest 2021 Ironman course in the world by average finish time. Henry completed his second full distance at Ironman Florida 2023.
Henry has over 25 years of training and coaching experience in the private sector and federal government. He is also past Mid Maryland Triathlon Club Treasurer and President.
Casey Shoemaker (S.E.T. Co-founder, Chief Statistician)
Casey grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana as the middle of 3 kids. During childhood she spent most days in the pool. In high school she played volleyball, basketball, and softball. Casey attended Millsaps college and graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in mathematics, a focus in actuarial sciences, and a minor in statistics.
In her 20s Casey was really into spin class, in her 30s she started doing half marathons, and in her 40s, after having their fourth daughter, Casey became an avid Crossfitter. She entered her first CrossFit competition in 2023 and looks forward to class every day because she can’t wait to see what challenge awaits. Casey’s non fitness hobbies include math puzzles, spreadsheets, databases, and memorizing numerical sequences.
