TUCSON, Ariz. – With Arizona Triathlon concluding its inaugural season this week, head coach
Wes Johnson has announced the program's 2024 recruiting class. The five-member class features elite international prospects with as well as some of the nation's best high school triathlon athletes. Arizona's recruiting class includes future Wildcats who have already competed in Junior Triathlon World Championships, USA Triathlon Youth National Championships and European Championships.
"This is hands down one of the strongest recruiting classes, if not the strongest, in NCAA Triathlon history," said head coach
Wes Johnson. "This class continues our success on the recruiting trail by bringing in student-athletes who are at the top level of competition but also shine in the classroom and the community. These outstanding young women will help continue to build our strong team culture."
