Youth Competition Team
Coach: Cassandra Burke
The goal of this team is to develop youth athletes’ passion for triathlon, grow progressive skills through fun filled activities, and learn race day tactics. This team is best for athletes who are ready to take on the challenge of the race day environment in fun filled local races. These athletes will have the option to compete in up to four team scheduled youth events including triathlons, duathlons, or an open water splash and dash. Requirements: Demonstrated ability to swim required race distances, handle a bike safely in groups, and complete the required run distance. Parent volunteer at one or more team events. Preferred minimum: Year-round swim team (required for open water events).
