TEMPE, Ariz. – The East Tennessee State women's triathlon team wrapped up its season at the Collegiate National Championships on Sunday. 

Due to weather and water quality conditions, the event was changed from its originally scheduled triathlon format to a duathlon. Instead of beginning with the swim portion, competitors took on a run-bike-run format at the Tempe Town Lake North Park. 

"Changing to a duathlon was something that unfortunately really negatively affected us today" said head coach Allie Nicosia "We were prepared for anything, but just had quite a few things that did not go well from the start of the day. We all had the same conditions and today was just not our day. We will come back stronger next year."
