Triathlon

After a great season of racing for the Santa Clara Triathlon Club, we finally had our final race of the season at USA Triathlon Collegiate Club Nationals. The team had a great weekend of racing in the brutal hills of Mission Viejo, California. There were standout performances by seniors Mckenzie Cooke '24 for finishing 40th out of 500 in the classic and Arnav Choudhury '24 for finishing 9th in the draft-legal. We also had a great performance from our relay team with Charlie Gall '26, Charlotte Ryder '27, and Berkeley Burbank '26 working together to finish 20th among all the schools. It was a whole lot of fun and a satisfying end to the season. Email dwu6@scu.edu to learn more about our club.

MEN’S LACROSSE

The Men’s Lacrosse season has come to an end. In the Playoffs the men faced off against Cal and played a hard fought battle all the way to end. The team also had a very successful Day of Giving bringing in over $30K from Alumni and Family. They also completed both challenges on the day! As the team looks to next season, the future looks bright as most of the team is set to return and also the recruiting class looks strong. We look forward to the continued support of Family and Friends.

MEN'S CLUB BASEBALL

After a hard-fought season, the inaugural year of club baseball has come to an end. Throughout the year, we had great success competing against teams from all across California. Additionally, our team had a very successful Day of Giving raising over $8,000! As this season comes to an end, we have big plans for next season. Our entire team will be returning, and we are excited to add more players for next season.
