US endurance sports marketing agency Wattie Ink has confirmed its second official pro athlete signing to the Wattie Ink brand. As with recently signed Canadian Pro Rachel McBride, Wattie Ink will serve as the official apparel supplier to Australian pro Richie Cunningham.
“I’m so excited to have Richie as part of the Wattie Ink family,” says Sean ‘Wattie’ Watkins, President and CEO of Wattie Ink. “Richie brings such a positive presence to the sport and is an amazing athlete. We couldn’t be more proud to have him as an ambassador to our brand.”
Cunningham is recognised as one of the most consistent triathletes in the sport with over 14 years of high level competition under his belt. He is a frequent visitor to the podium including two third place finishes at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. In addition he secured three first place victories in the 2012 season, all at races held by new Wattie Ink partner REV3.
An exciting year is ahead for Richie, including a start at the official Wattie Ink event – REV3 Quassy – to defend his 2012 title.
“I’m really excited to join forces with Wattie Ink,” says Cunningham. “Wattie Ink has become a huge presence in triathlon and I’m excited to be a part of it.”
