Trinona a success

Saint Mary’s hosted the Trinona Kids Triathlon, a swim/bike/run triathlon for kids ages 5-13 on June 9. Each triathlete swam in the SMU pool, biked around campus, and finished the competition running around the outdoor track.

The Trinona 2012 event weekend featured nearly 1,200 adult and youth athletes from across the U.S., Canada and the U.K.

As part of visibility efforts for the Centennial celebration, SMU was one of Trinona’s sponsors this year. Thanks go to all the volunteers from Saint Mary’s who helped to make this event a success!
