TEMPE, Ariz. – Sun Devil triathlon hits the road for the first time in nearly a month for the Western Regional Qualifier in Berkeley, Calif. this weekend. A part of the annual Cal Bearathlon, the women's draft legal qualifier will take place at 7:30 am PT on Saturday, Sept. 30.
 
Last time out, Arizona State finished in order at the Central Regional Qualifier in Naperville, Ill., with the group of seven finishing 1-7 led by Hannah Henry, Katie Gorczyca, and Kyla Roy on the medal stand. The first-place team finish qualified a Sun Devil team for November's national championship in Tempe (Nov. 5).

Saturday's course features a 750-meter swim, a 3-loop 20km bike, and a 2-loop 5km run.
 
Since the last collegiate race earlier this month, Gorczyca (USA/U23), Roy and Henry (Canada/Juniors), competed at ITU World Triathlon Grand Finals in the Netherlands.
