Our Team

Nancy has been a runner since her gym teacher encouraged her to run in first grade. Sixteen years ago, a friend persuaded her to take her love of running and start competing in triathlons. Her first trip down the pool was not pretty, but she kept going and did her first triathlon at Trizou in 2009. Since then, she has completed numerous triathlons, marathons, and ultra-marathons, including 3 Full Ironman Triathlons.

Nancy was the head coach for the Stephens College Cross Country team for 5 seasons until the summer of 2019. She is a USAT Level 1 Certified Coach.
