An update on one of our athletes abroad – Andie Kuipers, one of our up and coming Olympic hopefuls, will be participating at the 2021 Americas Triathlon Cup Salinas in ECUADOR this coming weekend. Andie is making her debut in the Elite Women’s event on the World Triathlon stage – a very exciting time for her and for Zimbabwe.
Andie is a past Youth and Junior National Champion and has represented Zimbabwe at several African Cup, African Championship, Africa Games and World Championship triathlon events as a Junior. She left for the States last year and is studying and training at Lenoir-Rhyne University.
A message to Andie and her US coach from our National Coach Pam Fulton which is echoed by everyone at Triathlon Zimbabwe –
“Thinking of you both as you prepare to travel to Salinas, and hoping all is going well. Wishing you a really good race Andie, and hope you have a fantastic experience as you start your elite career. Hoping your many years of hard work and dedication start to pay off as you start to build your elite ranking. Bryant, thank you very much for stepping in and supporting Andie, very exciting times ahead”.
ALL THE VERY BEST ANDIE – we will be thinking of you next weekend, safe travels and good luck
At the beginning ….
Fast forward to August 2019 …
