Juniors on the podium inEast qualifier

Tasker won the TS3 race at the Walden Junior Triathlon while Corner finished runner-up in the TS2 event.

If both are successful in qualifying for the big one at Mallory Park in August it will be the first time PACTRAC will have had two members racing in the National Championships.

Tasker came out of the swim in contention and then opened up an unassailable lead on the bike. After a slick transition, she soon got into her running and was able to secure a comfortable win.

Corner grabbed second place despite having an issue on the bike course that lost her over 30 seconds. But she stayed composed, refused to panic and was able to maintain focus on the run.

PACTRAC results:

Tristart - 11th Josh Moore 12:55.

Tristar 2 - 2nd Olivia Corner 27:30; 17th Chloe Moore 35:36.

Tristar 3 - 1st Katie Tasker 35:02; 19th Toby Cooke 47:47.
