FORT WORTH, Texas – The UIndy women's triathlon team competed in its second-ever regional race on Sunday, finishing eighth overall and fourth among DII programs down in the Lone Star State. The competition, which featured 14 programs across all three NCAA divisions, was hosted by Texas Christian University at Marine Creek Lake.
 
The Greyhounds posted an average time of 1:17:40 among their five scorers, totaling 89 points as a unit.
 
Geraldine Vazquez (15th, 1:13:24.55) and Ainsleigh Cardone (16th, 1:13:45.97) crossed the finish line in consecutive fashion to lead the UIndy scoring. Cardone finished the 3.2-mile run in under 23 minutes for a season-best time in the portion. The Baden, Penn., native was in a dead heat with Vazquez until the final leg.
 
Finishing just inside the DII top 25 was Lillian Sunbury (22nd, 1:15:20.23), who recorded the team's best time on the bike at 37:18.20.
