TEMPE, Ariz. – Conference Carolinas was well represented at the Women's Collegiate Triathlon National Championships with Wingate University winning the team title and Lenior-Rhyne University's Zoila Sicilia taking the individual title.
Wingate's head coach Nick Radkewich was also voted CTCA national Coach of the Year by his peers.
Due to recent heavy rains and unsafe conditions in the Salt River, the format for Sunday's event was revised. The event was contested as a run-bike-run duathlon at and around the Tempe Town North Lake Park. The first run was 2.5 kilometers, followed by a 20 kilometer bike and a 5 kilometer run.
Wingate placed five in the top 15 while Lenoir-Rhyne placed three in the top 15 to be the top two team finishers, separated by 59 points. Sicilia finished in 1:02.23.9 to take the title.
