HEAD COACH SONNI DYER'S QUOTE
"I couldn't be prouder of the way that our triathletes have moved the needle in establishing Queens University's promise of excellence in both athletics and academics. To earn a runner-up finish at the DI National Championships in our first two years as a DI athletic department and simultaneously be among the highest academically performing triathlon programs nationwide is a great accomplishment. Our team epitomizes the values of what it means to be a student-athlete at Queens."
