The Arizona women’s triathlon team held its first-ever practice Friday ahead of its inaugural season.
The team held swimming training at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center, which houses Arizona’s men’s and women’s swimming programs. Swimming makes up one section of a triathlon, along with running and cycling.
Arizona head coach Wes Johnson said Tucson provides an exciting environment and culture.
“I’m super grateful for how welcoming everyone has been and super helpful,” Johnson said. “There is somebody to help me on literally everything I need. That’s what it takes to build a program like this and a successful, championship team.
