This school based program will offer Talented Triathlon students:

Craig Redman, Triathlon Australia’s National Manager for Athlete Development, said “Triathlon Australia is excited to be partnering with Sheldon College in the development of our future champions. We have been working with Sheldon College for over 12 months on the planning of this alliance and I can honestly say that the facilities and staff provided by Sheldon College are truly world class.”

Anne Gripper, Triathlon Australia’s CEO, said “Sheldon College has both the entrepreneurial spirit and the traditional values that are ideally suited to this new venture. This partnership provides talented school aged Triathletes the perfect balance between education and their Triathlon ambitions. I look forward to working with the staff at Sheldon College”.

Dr Lyn Bishop, Principal and CEO Sheldon College, said “We recognise that our extensive and modern facilities are suited to an excellence program for Triathlon.  We believe our best opportunity has been to identify an individual sport with National, International and Olympic participation such as Triathlon, and our strategic vision for the College supports this decision. We believe this partnership will provide Triathlon Australia with a unique point of difference in its value proposition in both Talent ID and the world class education of school aged Triathletes.  I am excited about the prospect of developing this multi-tier Triathlon Program at Sheldon College and look forward to working with Anne and the TA Coaches in the creation of our future Australian, World and Olympic Champions”
