FORT WORTH – After two consecutive wins, the TCU Triathlon team sits on top of the first poll of the season by the Collegiate Triathlon Coaches Association. This marks the first time that the Horned Frogs have been named No. 1 in the CTCA Poll.
The Frogs also saw six athletes within the top-20 of the individual rankings, led by Duquesne Invitational runner-up, Jenna Buchanan. Buchanan is ninth with her second-place finish at Beaver Creek.
Amanda Moro is 11th overall after finishing third on the podium last weekend. Sara Gimena, Ani Veltcheva, and Hannah Ye are ranked 13th, 14th, and 15th, respectively. Gimena was fourth at Duquesne with Ye following in fifth. Veltcheva recently placed seventh at the Southern Hills Collegiate Cup. Rounding out the top-20 is Kira Gupta-Baltazar who competed in the Southern Hills Collegiate Cup and finished ninth.
