Honoring the Spirit of Competition
Last year's championships saw spirited performances with Queens University of Charlotte taking home their third consecutive national title. The individual races were just as thrilling, with Edoardo Leone and Ben Hinchliffe claiming the men's titles in the Draft-Legal and Olympic-Distance races, respectively. Faith Duncan was a standout in the women's category, securing victories in both formats. Beyond physical prowess, the Spirit Award and the Journey to Nationals Award celebrated the teams' camaraderie and spirit, underscoring the event's emphasis on community and shared experiences.
