Who are the Juniors that rocked the hardest during the 2024 season. Below are what may be the frontrunners for Junior of the Year.
Boys -
NOAH BILLINGS, 18, Rochester - The two-time JOY is a prolific racer, with at least ten completed tris on his 2024 scorecard. He won three of those races, including Junior Nationals. The only concern for the MMH Guys is that he finished behind fellow juniors on four occasions.
CORBIN DEICHMAN, 16, Mankato - Corbin won at least two (three?) races this year and didn't lose to a fellow junior in regional competition in his five (six?) starts. He was especially impressive in his win at Maple Grove Sprint where he outraced fellow elite juniors Noah Billings, Nolan Snyder and Kyler Williams. Concerns? His efforts at Nationals, however, were not as impressive as his regional performances against adult competition. (NOTE: For MMH purposes, perormances in DL races are excluded from consideration.) ...

"We're going to (mini) Worlds!"
(Words ny Doobie Kurus, photos courtesy of Jay Dellis)
10 years ago (11 actually if you include the 1+ year of planning the first tri), I wanted to create an event implementing the things I liked about some triathlons that I had participated in myself. Things like doable distances for newcomers, fun prizes, novelty post race food (for all), personalized race bibs, t-shirts people want to wear, good comunication to participants, reasonable entry fees, etc. Flash forward to this year, and after checking off all those things, at first I'd say, "mission accomplished!" But, if you know me, you realize I won't stop there. I already have fun plans for next year's event in the works. ...
