OTC members, family and friends WE NEED YOU !!

OTC is again hosting the TNSW Junior Super Sprint Triathlon Championships at Gosling Creek this weekend.

This event was first started 3 years ago to give our Juniors in the Central West an opportunity to participate in a weekend of State Level Triathlon coaching and racing without the need to travel. This weekend is now the Premier Short Course Junior Triathlon weekend in NSW and part of the TNSW Junior Pathway Programme, bringing together Junior Triathletes from all over the state, interstate and all triathlon abilities.

Mick Delamotte is the NSW Junior Pathway Coach and is  bringing 4 athletes from Spain to add an international flavour to the event, also NSW Professional Triathlete Nathan Breen will be on course to commentate the 2 days of racing. Triathlon NSW will be represented at the event by the Executive Director Adam Wicks  and TNSW President Glen Schwarzel.
