UIndy Women's Triathlon: Unleashing Fierce Competitors in Debut Season

UIndy Women's Triathlon Team Shines at Duquesne Invitational

In the lush landscapes of Beaver Falls, PA, the University of Indianapolis women's triathlon team, affectionately known as the Greyhounds, showcased their burgeoning prowess in the sport at the recent Duquesne Invitational. This event, part of the broader Beaver Country Tri Cup, saw our spirited Greyhounds clinch an impressive seventh place overall and a commendable second place among Division II schools.

The event was not just a test of endurance and speed, but also a vivid display of teamwork and strategy. Head Coach Doug Robinson couldn't hide his pride as he discussed the team's performance. "Our top five girls finished within a striking range of 90 seconds of each other. This tight grouping is a testament to the strength and synergy of our team this year," he remarked.

Leading the pack for the Greyhounds was graduate student Lex Wilhelm, who navigated the sprint course with a time of 1:11.42, landing her 30th overall and fifth among Division II athletes. Hot on her heels were teammates Gabrielle Harrell, Ainsleigh Cardone, Lillian Sunbury, and Hanna Burke, who all placed impressively within the top ten of Division II competitors. Their performances underscored a growing team dynamic that could redefine the program's future.

Coach Robinson also highlighted the evolution of the team's competitive edge: "Every week, they continue to get better and better. They are truly starting to embody the spirit and resilience of triathletes, realizing their potential with each stroke, pedal, and stride."

Looking ahead, the Greyhounds are gearing up for their next challenge at the Prairie State Cup in Clinton, Illinois, scheduled for September 21. This upcoming event promises to be another exciting chapter in their season, as they continue to build on their experiences and lessons from the Duquesne Invitational.

The University of Indianapolis remains committed to nurturing a robust women's triathlon program, under the guidance of Coach Robinson and his dedicated coaching staff. As they prepare for their next outing, the Greyhounds are not just racing against competitors, but against their personal bests, continually pushing the limits of what they can achieve together.
