Sun Devil Athletics receives grant to develop women's triathlon as emerging varsity sport

With the help of a new grant, ASU looks to add women's triathlon as a new sport

Thanks to a new grant, ASU will drive toward establishing women's triathlon as a new varsity sport over the next three years.

ASU will receive $140,000 over that time frame to help develop the program, which would be the first among the power five conferences at the Division I level. The Sun Devils were one of eight schools selected to receive the grant.

At the college level, a triathlon includes a 750m swim, a 20k bike and 5k run.
