More than 50 women from throughout Alberta took on the badlands in the first Wild Rose Women’s Triathlon in Drumheller on Sunday, May 14. Events offered included a sprint triathlon, a team sprint (you either swim, bike or run), and Try-A-Tri distance, using the Drumheller Aquaplex and the scenic river valley and badlands. The event was hosted by RnR Premier Events, and a few locals took on the distance in a spirit of accomplishment and camaraderie.
While the ice is out of the Drumheller Memorial Arena, Drumheller Dragons are making choices on where to continue to pursue their careers.
Goalie Garrett Fuller has committed to play for San Diego State University in the upcoming season.
The Aztecs compete in the West Region of the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division I.
