Setting the Precedent with The Delaware State Tri Team (S17E53)

43 minutes

As Women’s NCAA Triathlon nears the monumental benchmark of becoming a fully fledged NCAA Championship Sport, we check in with one of two Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) with a Division I Varsity Team. This week, Alyssa and Haley welcome the Head Coach of Delaware State University, Hannah Loftus, as well as sophomore student-athlete Chara Hinds.

As a very new women's triathlon program, Chara talks about what it was like to join the team with no "older athletes" to guide her. As she explains, this helped to build a certain camaraderie between the team members. Hannah talks about what it was like to take over the team as head coach, and how she works with student-athletes to ensure they are managing their studies and athletics.
