Black Hills State women's triathlon has added a pair of spring races to its schedule after the fall season was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Yellow Jackets will be competing in their first races of the academic year with back-to-back competitions on March 6 and 7 at the Clermont Draft Legal Festival in Clermont, Florida.

All ladies on the team will be racing in the NCAA wave on Saturday, March 6th, which is comprised of a full field of over 75 collegiate athletes from around the country and including teams from all three NCAA divisions racing together.

On Sunday, March 7th, the Yellow Jackets return to race a second day over the same sprint distance course (750m swim, 20K bike, 5k run). Some on the team will be competing in the Elite Development wave while others will be racing in the Age Group wave.  

This is the third trip to the Clermont races for the triathlon team and a great opportunity to see how they stack up against some of the best collegiate triathletes in the nation.
