Faculty, staff, and students competed in triathlon
Twenty-six colleagues from the UWM College of Nursing competed in this summer’s Danskin Triathlon in Pleasant Prairie,
Wis.
The triathlon was one in a series conducted across the country, billed as the largest and longest-running multi-sports series in the world. The event includes a .75-kilometer swim, a 20-kilometer bike ride and a 5-kilometer run.
Open to all women over the age of 14, the triathlon raises money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. “It’s a great event that raises money for breast cancer research and helps women get active,” says Sarah Morgan, assistant professor of nursing and one of the competitors.
College of Nursing faculty, staff and students who took part include: Anne Banda, Meagan Barnes, Merissa Bartell, Dana Glodoski, Linsey Gram, Amy Gussik, Audrey Hale, Leah Jajtner, Amy Karioris, Katlynn Kelley, Deanna Martin, Jaime Owens, Sarah Pavlovich, Jerilyn Percy, Jennifer Rettmann, Elisa Rewolinski, Katie Rice, Amber Ripp, Nicole Rosin, Jenell Tarasievich, Renee Zalud and Brittany Zingler
