PacWest successfully defended our USA Productions’ Tri Club Championship title at the Folsom Triathlon Sunday. The team also staged a “come from behind” win in the inaugural point series competition. PacWest won 3 out of the 4 races this year (MHST, SVIT & FODT) (The team did not compete in the inaugural SVST event). Two championships in one race. Just “another day in the office” for this team baby!

How did we do it? Both our men and women teams absolutely dominated the field. Here’s the breakdown:

- Men: Overall amateur male (Peter Mendes), 2nd overall (John Murphy) and 4th overall (David Condon)
- Women: Overall amateur female (Rachel Main), 3rd overall (Natie Tillotson), 9th overall (Ashley Wood) and 10th overall (Ariane Buser)
- 2nd overall in pro men division (Jeff Piland)
- 10 Top-3 podium winners (3-1st, 6-2nd & 1-3rd)
- 18 out of 29 finished in Top-10 in age group and earned bonus points

HUGE THANKS to all of our members for helping contribute to our wins this year!

GO PACWEST ATHLETICS!!
