CATCHING UP WITH COACH KEHR:
"I was very proud of how we performed individually and as a team this past weekend. We had many PR's and are excited to continue to build. The two day format was an excellent building block and helped the team gain confidence in their fitness as well as see some of their competition. We are looking forward to the next 7 weeks of training and racing leading to the national championship."
UP NEXT:
USF will return to racing in the middle of October as the Dons will travel to Stockton, Missouri for the USA Triathlon Regional Qualifier, which will be hosted by Drury University.
