CADDO VALLEY, Ark. – The TCU triathlon program collected its first win in program history under the leadership of head coach Jenny Garrison and assistant coach Kurt Woodward with a 55 to 25 win over Drury. Maria Coral led the Horned Frogs on the course today, taking home first place.
"I'm so proud of the way our girls competed in their first competition for TCU," Garrison said.
Coral dominated the field today, leading the team and field by placing first overall. She started off strong with a swim time of 6:25 and also had a stellar run time of 19:17.20.
The Frogs placed in all five spots on the leaderboard behind Coral. Sara Gimena placed second overall, highlighted by her second-place swim time of 6:20.
Jenna Buchanan took third place, backed by two first-place finishes in the swim (6:18.60) and run (6:06) events. Amanda Moro made her American debut that placed her fourth. Elena Viejo and Ani Veltcheva finished fifth and sixth, respectively.
"Having the first competition done before we get to host our own race is great experience for our team," Garrison said. "We can't wait to welcome everyone to the Fort Worth community soon."
