On behalf of the Executive Board – Dave, Pam, Christo and Jason, as well as all the Committee Members and the entire Triathlon Zimbabwe family, CONGRATULATIONS on your acceptance to study and pursue your triathlon dream at Lenoir Rhyne University in the States.
Whilst we are really sorry to see you leave Zimbabwe, we know that this opportunity is one that cannot be missed and are confident that you will thrive and do your very best. It is very sad that we do not have the same facilities here at home that could offer aspiring athletes like yourself to train and race at elite level. We have watched you develop from a little 11 year old participating in a fun school event to the determined and dedicated young woman that you have become today – we are very proud of everything you have achieved this far and will support you in all that you aim for in the future.
This is definitely not Goodbye – we will follow your progress and hope that you will be back home soon racing as an Elite under the Zimbabwe flag. Please keep in touch with us and send us updates on your studies, training and races while you are away.
We will all miss you Andie, travel well, keep safe and good luck.
Andie winning the U13 National Trophy back in 2015-2016 …… and as a 17 year old winning a Bronze Medal as and Elite at the Africa Games in 2019
