The 2022 Women’s Collegiate Triathlon National Championships are set to take place on Saturday, November 12. Tempe in Arizona is once again hosting the USA’s top women’s varsity collegiate triathletes all vying for individual and team national titles.
The event, organized by Kinetic Multisports and run in conjunction with the Sun Devil Triathlon Classic, will crown collegiate champions for Division I (DI), Division II (DII) and Division III (DIII) schools from across the US.
A total of 32 schools across all three divisions will compete in a draft-legal sprint-distance course, featuring a 750m swim in Tempe Town Lake, followed by a 20km bike and 5km run near downtown Tempe.
National team titles will be awarded from the individual race scores. Scores will be determined by the total points of up to the first five scoring athletes (DI and DII) and the first four scoring athletes (DIII) of each NCAA varsity team.
The DIII race will begin first, starting at 10:30 MST. DII racing will follow at noon and DI at 13:30. Awards will follow at 15:30.
To date, more than 40 schools offer women’s collegiate triathlon at the varsity level. This is an important benchmark reached earlier this year as the NCAA Emerging Sport for Women now has a few more steps to take on its way to being fully managed by the NCAA as a championship sport, including committee, council, divisional and budget approvals.
