The Byron Tri Club has won this year’s North Coast Interclub series, extending their domination of the contest to four years.
‘That’s four years in a row – it’s unbelievable,’ said the club’s Deb Fuller.
‘We have some very talented athletes amongst us’.
The Byron team took out the series after amassing 705 points, ahead of the Coffs Harbour Rockets on 510. The Hat Head Hammerheads came in third with 440 points.
The team also put in a big effort to win division four of the NSW club championships held in Forster last month, but just missed out by a few points.
‘We were determined to win that. Maybe next year! For a little club we’re doing ok,’ said Deb.
But the competition keeps coming as the Byron Tri Club has had a number of members qualify for the world triathlon championships (wearing green and gold) which is to be held in Australia in October this year. They include: Christie Horsley, Caroline Hogan, Jaime Cascajares, David Mildren, Scott Sewell, Deborah Fuller, Claire O’Meara, Peter Clarke and Nerida Clarke.
Most valued person of the year for the club was Andy Keen.
