Did you know that the country’s first ever
varsity triathlon team is in our backyard? Marymount University is in its first
year of a varsity program, led by seasoned coach Zane Castro, who moved to
Arlington from Austin, TX with his wife (and long-time professional triathlete)
Terra Castro to launch this team.
Check out this interview with Zane in April
as the team was gearing up for its first season. There’s an interesting
discussion of the challenge young American triathletes face without the high
school and college programs Canada, Australia and other countries offer,
meaning Americans have to choose swimming or running as a sport in school:
If successful, Marymount could help inspire
more varsity triathlon teams to form and help talented U.S. triathletes be
competitive at the world level much earlier.
