Coach's Quotes
"We had a great day today in a heats & finals supersprint format," Queens Director of Triathlon Sonni Dyer stated.
 
"Basically, with the explosive growth of our sport as it makes its way to NCAA Championship status, heats/finals competency becomes an absolute necessity for every program. Today, we executed very well as a team in getting through the heats with as little energy spent as possible, qualifying six for the 12-woman final. Then we used it in the finals in putting on a team race clinic in the process.
 
Whenever I see selfless racing, especially this early in the season, I know we're on track."
