Haus Triathlon Club’s Future!!!

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Check out Haus Triathlon Club’s youngest member, Conner McKnight.  He represented Haus Tri Club well by placing 3rd in his age division.   He is 8 years old and his dad, member Rich McKnight, couldn’t be prouder.  “Conner gave it his all and never gave up.   Placing 3rd in his age division was just icing on the cake”, said Rich.   

Their goal was for him to have a great time and just finish the race.   Coming in 3rd just showed them both the potential he may have.   He’s watched Rich train and race for many years.   ”One day, he just came to me out of the blue and said he wanted to do a tri.   I was blown away because I’ve never asked or pushed him into any sport”, said Rich. 

“Conner can’t wait to do another one, he’s hooked”, said one very proud dad. 

Conner, we can’t wait to watch you train and race over the years to come.  Congratulations on behalf of all the Haus Tri Club Members!!!!
