One month in Arizona 🇺🇸🌵

Couldn't ask for a better academic and athletic environment to start this new chapter. Most importantly, it's the people who have made Arizona feel like home. I've met an amazing group of friends and made lifelong memories. It's only just getting started!

And on a side note… debut Ironman 70.3 in 3 days. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Owen Sanders exudes love for the sport of triathlon. He is perpetually cheerful, encouraging, persistent, and positive. He makes friends instantly and keeps everyone laughing.

In his final year of the Junior Series, he had breakthrough races at Ft. Worth and Jenny Lee, opening with the strongest Swim of his career and logging the fastest Run split in Heat 1 Day 1, finishing 4th in that race.

Owen returns to Arizona State University for his sophomore year, where he is majoring in Business Law and minoring in Spanish. Owen plans to attend Law School, and he’ll continue racing with the ASU club triathlon team.

Thank you, Owen, for all you’ve given to the EF family!

Jenny Lee Tri Cup | EF Race Recap | Junior Men’s Championship Final | Sunday, June 15

Intensity was high in this race, starting with a very aggressive and fast-paced Swim. Jonas Yiengst was the first EF athlete out of the water in 6th place. Joren Aardema-Gagnon was assertive as usual on the Bike, earning the second-fastest split of the day, with Owen Sanders and Silas Renno both within 10 seconds of him. A large crash affected four riders in the lead pack, but thankfully, all six EF athletes avoided involvement. Jonas crushed the Run, with Owen Sanders and Liam Robinson in the top three EF run splits also. Fynn Wottawah finished over 2 minutes faster than he did in 2025, and Owen Sanders wins Most Improved, racing more than *four minutes* faster than this same race last year!

Jenny Lee Tri Cup | EF Race Recap | Junior Men’s Prelims | Saturday, June 13

One week ago, nine young men representing EF lined up to race in Heats 1 and 2 of the super sprint draft-legal prelims.

Jack Kirby, Jonas Yiengst, and Silas Renno had excellent times on the Swim, while Joren Aardema-Gagnon dominated the Bike leg in his heat. Jonas, Owen Sanders, and Liam Robinson had the fastest Run splits on the team. Brady Rinehart had a strong showing in his first-ever draft-legal Junior cup race, Fynn Wottawah had a strong race all-around to easily join 5 teammates qualifying into Sunday’s championship final, and Daniel Gorricho had his first Junior cup finish!

The EF family is proud of your efforts!

Up next: Race #3 of the USAT Junior Series in Pleasant Prairie, WI on Sunday. Eleven Endorphin athletes slated to start…

Junior Elite Female:
- Emily Knopfle enters her second race in the Series after a breakthrough 4th place at Ft. Worth in April.
- Ellie Harlow is coming off a podium finish in Richmond earlier this month, looking strong in her first season as a Junior.
- Josie Nunziata earned a 4th place finish of her own in Richmond. She has fond memories of Pleasant Prairie, where she won the Youth Elite race in 2024.
- Eve Frost was 12th in Richmond and building momentum as we enter mid-season.
- Andrea Rogerson races for the second time this season after a strong comeback performance at ECTF.

Junior Elite Male:
- Silas Renno, first-year Junior, was 19th at ECTF.
- Owen Sanders, final year in the Junior Series, started the year strong with a qualifying spot to Nationals earned at Ft. Worth.
- Jack Kirby was most-improved on the team between Ft. Worth and Richmond, aiming for a ticket to Nationals in his next race.

Youth Elite Male:
- Henry Renno has a 4th and 6th place finish so far this season, hungry for a shot at the podium.
- Caden Browning was 7th in Richmond in the youth elite race, but absolutely obliterated his own time on the same course just a few hours later in the draft-legal adult race. Look for him to make big moves in his debut season!
- Leonidas Ezra is an EF newcomer this season after moving to Virginia. He proved his fast feet in Richmond and looks to build momentum in Pleasant Prairie.

Wishing you all swift, safe, thrilling and fulfilling races this weekend, Junior Team!
