The inaugural student-driven UNLV Triathlon Club competed in their first Collegiate Division triathlon Saturday, Oct. 29, 2023. Club president Levi Thomas (Kinesiology), treasurer Ashlyn Thomas (Nutrition), and members Emilo Benitez (Kinesiology), Liahm Blank (Biology), Julio Carrion (Biology), and Juliano El-Hajj (Biology) all completed the BBSC Pumpkinman Sprint triathlon representing the UNLV Triathlon Club. This was the first triathlon for many of these students – a great example of "Rebels make it happen!"
The club is supported by faculty advisors Athletic Training Program director Tedd Girouard (Kinesiology and Nutrition Sciences) and John Mercer, Ph.D. (UNLV Sports Innovation; Kinesiology and Nutrition Sciences).
