Under-23 & College Team
The Barracuda Tri Under-23 and College Team is designed for high-level and collegiate-aged triathletes (18–23) who are training to compete at the highest levels of the sport. This program is built for athletes who already hold an Elite License, race for a college program (varsity or club), or are actively working toward earning those qualifications.
The U23 division serves as an important bridge between Junior Elite racing, Collegiate Draft-Legal competition, and Elite racing. Athletes in this group typically compete in draft-legal formats at:
-
Sprint Distance: 750m swim • 20k bike • 5k run
-
Olympic Distance*: 1.5k swim • 40k bike • 10k run
*Olympic-distance racing applies to U23 and Collegiate Club athletes only.
Coaching Leadership
The team is led by Coach Jeff Boyer, a former varsity NCAA coach at Division II St. Thomas Aquinas College in Sparkill, NY, where he developed NCAA triathletes and supported their progression into high-performance racing. Coach Jeff qualified his team for Collegiate Nationals in all three years of his tenure. He is the only coach in school history to get athletes across the finish line at the National Championship.
