New Rochelle, N.Y. - Thirty four members of the Iona College swimming and diving team
along with head Coach Nick Cavataro and Assistant Coach Ryan Harrell
volunteered their help as race marshal on the bike course for the Westchester
Triathlon on Sept. 25th along the route in Greenwich, Purchase and Harrison.
The team was stationed at a dozen pivotal intersections along the
25 mile bike course on the Olympic Distance course (1K swim, 25mile bike, 10K
run) providing both traffic and safety support for the more than 1500 competitors.
The net proceeds from the Westchester Triathlon are donated to
local charities including the Rye YMCA, the Leukemia & lymphoma Society, MAC Angels for ALS,
Challenged Athletes and Wounded Warrior Project. http://westchestertriathlon.org/
"This is an event we have been at for eight years as a team and it
is always a very inspirational event," commented Coach Nick Cavataro. "To see
world class triathlete competing along with physically challenged athletes
really makes our group appreciate how lucky they are."
