For my personal story, I intend to write on the current state of triathlon in the U.S. and more specifically, diving into how the addition of women’s NCAA triathlon could impact the sport in the upcoming years.
Several junior athletes choose to compete in either swimming or cross country and track in college and either give up triathlon or return after college. This exploratory piece will examine top triathletes, some who are in NCAA triathlon and others who are not. Additionally, I hope to spend a day with the Queen’s University NCAA triathlon team and examine a day in the life.
