Freshman Collin Dulin, who has participated four years, remarked after crossing the finish line, “It feels very good to know the hard work and effort that you put in is made worth it.” When asked about the unyielding bike ride, he said, “You gotta tell yourself to push through.”

Promoting physical well being and the importance of good help are two of the major reasons for putting on the triathlon. Also, a special thank you goes out to all the people and sponsors who helped put on this event. Mrs. Traver and Mrs. Carpenter head the yearly effort to make sure the triathlon runs smoothly and is continued for many more years to come.
