KU athlete Amber Mounday shines in first triathlon event
Amber Mounday, a Kansas University sophomore, finished second in the women's 20-24 division and sixth overall at the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Triathlon short course. Despite three prior swims this summer and lacking gear, she borrowed a bike and aims to pursue more triathlons, inspired by Ironman hopefuls in Hawaii. Professional triathlete Jimmy Riccitello dominated the long course with 1 56 10, while Tucson rival Marcel Vifian and Jonathan Grinder followed.
