Our beginnings story
Stephanie accidentally ran into Sharon in 2021. She was running on her own with a plan she purchased online. Steph saw Sharon working with some folks at the track and stopped to talk with her.
The rest is history, as they say.
Stephanie says, “She has catapulted my running (I qualified and ran Boston) and encouraged me to get back into triathlons, which I am enjoying more than ever. We built both our athlete-coach relationship and friendship since we met. I am following her lead in giving back to our community and supporting all athletes we can find around here. “
Our Quack Pack is starting to blossom, and we hope you choose to be a part of it!
We are a new multisport club as of May 2024, and work in conjunction with the City of Taylor (TX).
