The St. Thomas Aquinas College Women's Triathlon team concluded their 2019 season at the NCAA/USA Women's Triathlon National Championships in Tempe, Arizona on Saturday. 

The field, which was entirely comprised of Division I and II athletes, showcased some of the best collegiate runners, bikers and swimmers who qualified via their respective regional championship events.

On the day, the Spartan squad had a respectible showing, as athletes Mary Dristle, Jadyn Vargas, Kristie Hanlon, Tyiana Nunez and Sylvie Bischof each made significant contributions to the team's second consecutive National Championship appearance, as they have done all season long.

Head Coach George Erazo remarked "I cannot be more proud of this group of women. They have worked hard all season long; whether it was during our early morning training sessions or at each of our six events, they stepped up and wore the maroon and gold with pride as they each performed to their potential. I'm excited for the process going forward in the continued building and development of this team. We will take a couple of weeks just to reflect on this past season, but after that, the work for next season will quickly begin."

With only two seniors, Tyiana Nunez and Jennyfer Huerta graduating in the spring, the 2020 roster of the St. Thomas Aquinas College Women's Triathlon team will look largely the same, as Head Coach George Erazo and his staff will welcome back six returners and will look to add quality recruits to the mix of an already experienced and talented group.
