Queens University Charlotte’s Triathlon Places At National Championships
Battling through numerous obstacles in today’s race, the Queens University of Charlotte triathlon team finished third at the 2024 DI Collegiate Women’s Triathlon National Championships.
After hurricane damage forced the championships to be split into two days, the Royals entered day two in a great position following fantastic performances in the open water swim yesterday morning from multiple triathletes. However, the Royals faced some adversity today, battling the hot weather and injuries to fight their way onto the podium for the third straight season in Division I.
Following the race, Queens Director of Triathlon Sonni Dyer was named DI Coach of the Year.

“A hot one today. Our Royals fought hard and did a great job of splitting the front pack, grouping our chasers, and doing the best we could on the day.
