🏊♂️🚴♀️🏃♂️ The Schuylkill Tri Club Tridents Take the Podium at Steelman! 🏆💪
We are so proud to sponsor this incredible group of young athletes — the Tridents, part of the Schuylkill Triathlon Club’s youth team — as they absolutely crushed their first big event at the Steelman Triathlon on August 3!
In just a few months, these athletes went from swimmers (many who didn’t even own bikes) to top podium finishers at one of Pennsylvania’s biggest triathlon events — and a State Championship race at that. 💥
Here’s a glimpse of what went down:
🥈 Mollie Sarnes (Olympic distance): Fastest female swimmer (20:54), 2nd place in her age group, top 20 overall female finish!
🥇 Alexis Buchala (Sprint): Fastest female swim (11:13), 1st place in 16–19 age group, 5th female overall, 19th overall!
💪 Brody Moyer: Fastest male swim (10:20), 3rd in age group, 10th overall male!
🔥 Owen Metzger: 2nd fastest swim, 1st place in 15 and under, 18th overall!
💥 Aidan Varney: 4th fastest swim, 4th in age group, 32nd overall!
🌟 Alayna Hensel: 2nd fastest swim, 5th in age group in her first-ever sprint race!
👏 These kids are the real deal — building strength, confidence, and friendships through a sport that blends grit with fun. Huge thanks to Coach Kenny Knittle, who’s not only training great athletes but shaping future leaders through inclusive, community-based multisport training.
