USAT Collegiate Club Nationals 2022 snapshots:

What a memorable experience our athletes had this past week in Georgia at Lake Lanier! Shoutout to all of the collegiate athletes and our MWCTC conference athletes especially for some great performances and connecting with us throughout the weekend! And a special thank you to USTA for hosting such an epic event!

Due to cancellations and relocations in the past couple years, it was uncertain if many of the founding members of our team were ever going to experience Nationals. But here we are after a bittersweet year and an incredible experience in Georgia thanks to everyone’s efforts and perseverance through the very challenging conditions! This was a race we all will never forget, and look forward to many more in the future!

Look at our athletes go! Tri WashU never disappoints! Such a fun and exciting event getting back together with our MWCTC conference teams!

Thanks again to for hosting us and putting on this awesome indoor triathlon! 10 of our athletes toed the line and qualified for Nationals which will be in TWO WEEKS!

Shots from the team time trials this weekend.

TriMiners are looking forward to starting the race season and are ramping up the pace in preparation for the upcoming triathlon at WashU!!

Dillon achieved his person best on both swim and run. Finishing with a PR of 5:47:25 and placing 15th in the men’s 18-24 category.

We seriously could not be more proud of you and warmest congratulations on your well-deserved success! St. George, Utah 2022 here he comes!

Recently 4 of our members completed a sprint triathlon to test their fitness, and celebrate the hard work they’ve put in this semester. We look forward to watching the team grow over the coming weeks!

HUGE congratulations to TriMiner Derrick Barger for completing his first full distance Ironman triathlon in Tulsa, OK this past Sunday. To complete his race, Derrick swam a distance of 2.4 miles, biked 112 miles, and ran a full 26.2 mile marathon all back to back to back. Outstanding work Derrick. We are all so proud of you!

Despite the intense heat, Missouri S&T’s TriMiners absolutely crushed it yesterday at the Lakeside 370 Triathlon! With finishes near or at the top our age group in all three distances, our training definitely paid off. Now time for some well deserved rest then back to training for the next race!

Hey Dillon? How many days until race day? That’s right! Only 2 more days until the Tri Miners tackle the Lakeside 370 triathlon this Sunday. Members will be competing at the sprint, Olympic, and Half Iron distances. We are beyond excited!

The Tri Miners are just a little over a month away from race day and still training strong! Thanks to warmer weather, we’ve been able to have some great group rides and runs. We also received our brand new TriMiners athletic T shirts and we are in love with their awesome design!

There’s just a little over a month until race day! The TriMiners have kicked their training into overdrive increasing distance and intensity in all three disciplines. Hopefully we can head out and get some open water training in soon!
