The three-peat is complete.
Arizona triathlon won its third straight national championship on Sunday with a dominant showing, led by Kelly Wetteland winning the individual title.

at Tempe Town Lake, there was no swimming portion to the race.
Arizona secured four of the top 10 finishes: Amit Ben Adiva placed fourth, Molly Lakustiak placed sixth and Regina Michel Camacho placed seveth. Ellison Wolfe placed 11th and Margareta Vrablova placed 12th to round out Arizona’s scorers.
The Wildcats earned 935 points, ahead of runner-up ASU (908) and third-place TCU (860).
Under head coach Wes Johnson, the women’s triathlon program has cemented a legacy status in the NCAA emerging status. Arizona debuted triathlon in 2023, placing runner-up at nationals. Since then, the Wildcats have put distance between themselves and rival ASU, who had won the previous seven national championships.
