The McGregor Trophy

Last year at Yarrawonga when we did presentations at the end of the end of each event we noticed there was a familiar face. One athlete Carole McGregor from the Shepparton Tri Club had entered four separate events ending with the following age results.

11^th fastest female overall in the Dash for Cash

2^nd in age group National aquathlon

1^st  in age group Long course Aquathlon   

3^rd in age group Olympic Triathlon

It was a great achievement!

So we have created a trophy named after Carole.

The McGregor will be awarded to the best overall  Male and best overall Female athlete at the Yarrawonga Mulwala Multisport Festival. The winners will receive a trophy and $200 cash.

To be eligible you need to enter at least three events .

The athlete with the lowest points total wins.

The points will be awarded on the following basis.

Olympic Distance Triathlon Age Group result x 1  ( eg 2^nd in age group 2 points)

Sprint Distance Triathlon Age Group result x 2 ( eg 2^nd in age group 4 points)

Long Course Aquathlon Age Group Result  x 2

National Aquathlon ( short course) Age Group Result  x 3

Dash for Cash Age Group Result x 4

In the event of a tie each winner will receive a trophy and the prize money will be spilt.

If you enter more than three events only your lowest three scores count.

So come along for the whole weekend, enter a few events and see how you go.

Remember there is also a Club Shield to be awarded ( currently held by Shepparton Triathlon Club) .he more events you enter the points you get for your club.
