TEMPE, Ariz. – Led by a bronze medal individual finish from Julia Visgueiro, TCU triathlon capped off its 2026 campaign with a third-place team result at the Women's Collegiate Triathlon National Championships on Sunday afternoon.
Â
The Horned Frogs totaled 860 points to secure a spot on the podium for the second consecutive season. Arizona claimed the national title with 936 points, followed by Arizona State in second with 908. TCU took home bronze, finishing ahead of San Francisco (820) and Queens (749).
Â
The national championship was a duathlon format after heavy rainfall forced the cancellation of the swimming portion. Athletes instead completed a 2.5-kilometer run, 20-kilometer bike and 5-kilometer run.
Â
Visgueiro led the way for the Frogs, crossing the finish line in 1:01:19.3 to place third overall. She was one of two TCU athletes to finish among the top 20 as Amanda Moro followed in 17th overall with a time of 1:02:48.2.
Â
Kadence Ribbink was the next Frog to cross the finish line, placing 24th overall with a time of 1:03:39.5. Anna Besenyei followed in 29th overall, clocking a 1:03:51.7, while Sara Gimena rounded out TCU's top five with a time of 1:04:09.1 to place 32nd.
Â
Gwen Watson finished 36th overall with a time of 1:04:37.4, while Stefania Salazar Urvayova crossed the finish line in 1:05:50.7 to place 44th.
Â
The result capped off another strong season for the Horned Frogs, who captured team titles at the Desert's Edge Collegiate Cup and Navy Collegiate Cup and earned a podium finish in all five competitions this fall.
