TEMPE, Ariz. - Sadie Cyr (Hadley, Mass.) of the Guilford triathlon team competed in the NCAA National Championship, finishing 37th following a format change due to flooding from a recent stop in Tempe, Arizona.

Rather than completing the traditional 750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike ride, and 5-kilometer run that comprises a sprint triathlon, competitors raced a duathlon, replacing the swim with a 2.5-kilometer run which preceded the traditional bike and run distances.

With her strongest discipline being canceled, Cyr began with an 11:22.0 time in the initial run, before taking only 25 seconds to transition to the ride.

Cyr was slowed down on the bike due to a flat tire in the first lap, but was able to complete the 20-kilometer ride in 51:51.7 before transitioning into the second run of the day in 33.6 seconds.

The Quaker crossed the finish line 27 minutes and 36.4 seconds later, to post a complete time of 1:31:48.8 for Guilford.

Cyr's trip second trip to the NCAA National Championship in just as many years closes out the 2026 triathlon season.
