Newspaper Report on Youth Triathlon

Sunday’s Cub Tracks Youth Triathlon, which was held at UMaine’s track and field complex, was featured in a Bangor Daily News article. Lisa Trimper, a health educator with Eastern Maine Medical Center and the wife of UMaine coach Steve Trimper, said the main goal of the event is to increase youth awareness of physical activity, nutrition and healthy lifestyle behavior. UMaine sophomore Ashley Higgins, a member of the Black Bear swimming and diving team and one of more than 120 student-athletes who volunteered during the event, was interviewed for the story.
