TRIATHLON Zimbabwe concluded their 2021/2022 season over the weekend with a fun event at Borrowdale Brooke Golf Club.
Participants took part in fun events in triathlon, duathlon and aquathlon.
The event also saw the national association presenting trophies to outstanding athletes for the season.
Brooklyn Tippett walked away with two trophies – the most improved female and the national trophy for Under-17 Girls.
Tippett had a fruitful season and produced the country’s best performance at the Bonaqua Africa Triathlon Cup when she won a bronze medal in the junior women category early this month.
Glenn Morgan and Mikayla Colegrave were crowned men and women’s national champions.
The Mawere siblings – Makanaka and Matipa also walked away with national trophies.
Makanaka got the Under-19 Ladies trophy while Matipa received the Under-17 Boys trophy.
