Waterman’s Olympic Tri🥈

Holy. 🥹 Never smiled this much throughout a race.
9th overall, 2nd 25-29🥳

First Olympic-distance triathlon in the books, and without a doubt, one of the most surprising and rewarding performances I’ve had in 20 years of doing triathlon. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but I surprised myself with how fit, strong, and capable I felt from start to finish.

Especially after two orthopedic surgeries, this one means a little more. As a physical therapist, coach, and athlete, I spend so much time helping other people get back to the things they love. Getting to experience that process myself, and realizing I’m capable of more than I thought was pretty special.

Feeling incredibly grateful for this body, this sport, and 20 years of lessons along the way. Even more grateful to be able to do it with my mom. ❤️‍🔥🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

2026 NextGen Performance Summit | Park City, UT ⛰️🇺🇸

Feeling incredibly grateful for the opportunity to coach and learn at this year’s NextGen Performance Summit. Thank you to @usatrielite and @tzaferes for creating an environment where coaches and athletes could come together, share ideas, challenge perspectives, and learn from one another.

Getting to work alongside some of the best coaches and athletes in the country was an incredible experience and a reminder that there is always more to learn. I’m excited to take these lessons, conversations, and new perspectives back to my athletes and continue finding ways to help them reach their potential. 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Junior Draft Legal Nationals 2026 🇺🇸

Still can’t believe this day really happened. Going into this season I set two goals for myself: podium the junior series and podium at nationals. Both ambitious for a guy who had only raced one nationals two years ago and placed 22nd. I had just about everything happen to me over the course of this series: heavy sickness before Texas, burn out before Wisconsin, got taken out during Jenny Lee, and spent the weeks leading into Iowa trying to get healthy and fit again after crashing. My only solid result was a second place in Richmond as a result of a strong two man break and one of the best runs of my life. Going into my final junior race, I thought both of those had slipped between my fingers.

Race day came and stomach was in knots, mind was wandering, already thinking about college and next season, and disappointed that I let this happen to myself throughout the season. Then the gun went off… throughout the swim I started smelling the approaching rain, saw the lightning streaking across the sky, felt the droplets start to fall on my arms, and my excitement start to build in anticipation of a rainy race. Then an official was stopping us as we got out of the water. An hour and a half later we started back at the bridge and set off sprinting to T1 in the order we left the water. I got on the bike and one thought was running through my head: get to the front of the race and stay there. When I found myself half a lap in, surrounded by the three people I knew I could stay away with, a wave of relief washed over me; the one situation where I had a shot to podium had actually fallen into place. Our four man break put over 1:20 into the chasers before T2. From there I just believed in myself and ended up running my way to third place, also securing my third place finish in the series.

Huge congrats to Graham Hummel and Nate Hamilton on their first and second places respectively and shoutout for their’s and Elliot Hamilton’s work in the break.

Thank you to my @teammcelite coaches and my family for supporting me and helping me grow into who I am today.

Onto the next adventure…

2026 USA Triathlon Youth and Junior National Championships🇺🇸

West Chester holds a special place in my heart, as it was my first national championship 14 years ago (see last pic🫣). Every day these athletes show up and give it their all, and they got to let it all shine this past weekend.

Swipe for individual stories on each pic:)

The team ready to rock and roll😎

Abi running her way to 18th place at her first Junior Elite National Championship and 19th overall in the Junior Elite Series. Excited for what’s to come!!

Ben trying to chase down the lead pack after a 90 minute delay after the swim due to thunderstorms⛈️
Ben held on to a top 10 finish in the Junior Elite Series. Off to CU Boulder before one more season as a junior!

Lucas in the lead pack, and finishing 3rd at the National Championships, and 3rd in the Junior Elite Series to round out an incredible Junior Draft Legal career.

Always sad when our athletes age out of junior racing🥲

This girl crushed her first year as a junior, with her best finish at Pleasant Prairie of 7th place🥳

Harrison stayed committed all season and finished out his first year as a junior with a great race at nationals! Onto Age Group World Champs!
