Gold Coast, Australia–Carroll County’s own Kirsten Sass won another world title this week. Sass competes in triathlons all over the world and is on Team USA during the International Union World Championship in Australia this week.
Sass won the women’s 35-39 age group, finishing more than a minute ahead of her closest competitor in 1:05:59. The win marked Sass’ 10th ITU age-group world title across various disciplines of multisport.
“There is just nothing like toeing the line with the best in the world and representing the USA,” Sass said. “While I’m out there racing, cheering on my fellow U.S. athletes and being cheered on by them in return — it’s just an incredible atmosphere. A true celebration of the sport.”
Sass is a native of McKenzie and works as a physician assistant at McKenzie Medical Center.
