Brittany and her CU Boulder Teammates
|
Brittany is a former division 1 tennis player, turned triathlete. She found her love of triathlon during her senior year of high school, when she began using it as a cross-training tool. She went on to play division 1 tennis at Santa Clara University her freshman year of college, only to discover her heart belonged in the sport of triathlon.
She transferred to the University of Colorado Boulder and became part of the most dominant triathlon team in the country. The CU Buffaloes went on to win the USA Triathlon Collegiate National Championships for all four years she was on the team. Though Brittany did not start out as a key player on the team, through perseverence and hard work she went on to not only be a leader on the team, but a major contributor when she won an individual national title her senior year. Upon graduation in May 2016 she moved to Colorado Springs to train full-time under her coach, Ken Axford, to pursue the sport professionally. |
