TRIATHLON Zimbabwe (TZ) honoured the country’s top junior triathletes following an outstanding performance at the recently ended Africa Championships in Morocco.
Captain Makanaka Mawere and young brother Matipa, Brooklyn Tippett (Junior), Anje Van As, Nicole Madya and Tayleigh Taylor (Youth) were awarded Triathlon colours.
George Ascott, Emma Lidsba, Rohnan Nicholson and Callum Smith received National Representation and Commendation Certificates.
TZ head coach Pam Fulton explained the criteria used to award colours.
“We have a colours policy based on the athletes’ performance at Africa Champs. They are required to finish within a percentage of the overall category winner’s time to be awarded their Junior or Youth colours,” Fulton told EnterSportNews.
Fulton was proud of the youthful team that delivered medals from Morocco.
“The team raced well, embraced the Moroccan culture, and made new friends, and our three U15 girls all podiumed, winning gold, silver and bronze. Such an incredible experience and adventure for them all,” she added.
