Olympic gold medalist Gwen Jorgensen among winners at America's Triathlon Cup in Homestead
There was racing of a different kind at Homestead-Miami Speedway over the weekend, and it did not involve cars. Former Olympians and college standouts from across the United States and more than 26 countries competed in triathlon events on the speedway grounds. The events were sponsored by CLASH Endurance. The America's Triathlon Cup Miami took competitors on a draft-legal sprint-distance triathlon comprised of a 750-meter swim, a 20K bike and 5K run all within the speedway. Gwen Jorgensen, the 2016 Olympic gold medalist, won the women's elite division and Reese Vannerson, a member of USA Triathlon's elite development squad Project Podium, won the men's. Jorgensen won by dominating in the 5k, and finished in a time of 55 minutes, 41 seconds. The 38-year-old mother of two won four World Triathlon Cup races during the 2023 season and on Friday ran the day's fastest 5k (16:58) to secure her first win of 2025. 'It was super windy. Thankfully, I've been in Boulder where there are 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts every day, so I've had practice in the wind. I knew that was going to make it tough,' Jorgensen told USA Triathlon. 'It's really special to have my family here and have a race in the United States. It's really rare to have racing in the U.S., and you look at the start line with how many athletes were here today who took the opportunity to race — that was probably the biggest start field I've ever raced in.' Gina Sereno (USA) led the women's field out of the swim. Several groups were seen on the bike and then Jorgensen dominated the run. Mexico's Marcela Alvarez Solis placed 2nd at 55:45 and Danielle Orie (USA) crossed at 55:55. On the men's side, Igor Dupios (France) led out of the swim and Vannerson dominated the run. His first-place time of 49:54 was followed by Dupois in second place with a time of 50:12 and Darr Smith (USA) was third in 50:14. 'All in all, I'm really happy with my race. The bike was a lot harder than I anticipated with the strong winds. Big ups to everyone out there. It was really hard, hot day,' Vannerson said. 'The guys at the front of the pack are no slouches; one of them (Seth Rider) has an Olympic medal, Darr I've looked up to for a long time, so to track them down means a whole lot. I'm just blessed.' More than 100 college triathlon teams competed in the Collegiate Club National Championships. Clare Anne Dasso of Queens University of Charlotte crossed the line in the draft-legal portion in 58:55 and UCLA's Edoardo G. Leone completed the same race in 52:00. In the Olympic distance, Annie Meeder of Univ. of Colorado (Boulder) finished in 2:07:58 and Mark Romano of the U.S. Air Force Academy came over the finish line at 1:51:13. AJ Cuddeback won the non-binary Olympic-distance event category with a time of 2:40:48. In the Mixed Team Relay race with each completing a super-sprint triathlon. Queens Univ. of Charlotte earned 1st place at 1:03:18, followed by Univ. of Colo (Boulder) at 1:04:59 and in 3rd, United States Naval Academy at 1:05:12.
