Who makes a good Rookie Triathlete of the Year nominee?

Rookie Triathlete of the Year recognizes an athlete in their first year of triathlon competition who has made a strong entrance into the sport. Nominations should highlight race results, podium finishes, consistency, and the level/depth of competition the athlete faced. This award celebrates an athlete who has made an impressive debut and shown that they have the potential to become a strong competitor in the years ahead.

In 2025, the female Rookie Triathlete of the Year went to Naomi Johnson. After joining the Just Tri It Program, Naomi showed incredible commitment and progression, working her way up to competing in the Sprint distance. At the St Malo Triathlon, she delivered an outstanding performance, finishing in 1:23, placing 8th in the female category, just six minutes off the top spot.

Who makes a good Age-Group Triathlete of the Year nominee?

Age-Group Triathlete of the Year recognizes an athlete who has demonstrated outstanding performance within their age group throughout the season. We are looking for athletes who have consistently achieved strong results at Manitoba races while also competing successfully at provincial, national, or international championships. Strong nominations should highlight podium finishes, championship results, personal bests, consistency across multiple races, and the level/depth of competition the athlete faced.

In 2025, the male Age-Group Triathlete of the Year went to Patrick Labossiere. Patrick raced everything from a full Ironman to a super-sprint as part of the mixed-team relay at the Age Group World Championships, showing real depth and diversity in his athleticism. In all of his races, Patrick consistently placed at the top of the field in his age group, and often overall. Patrick raced in three provincial championships: Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario, winning Saskatchewan overall and placing second in Manitoba (overall) and Ontario (age group).

Do you know someone with a standout season like Patrick’s? Submit a nomination today!

What’s in a good award nomination?

Triathlon Manitoba isn’t just asking for you to say an athlete had a great year (because in our books, if you participated, we think that is great too), we are asking you to build a case for why your nomination stands out in their award category.

But don’t fret… it isn’t that hard!

Step 4: Find an epic photo.

Triathlon Manitoba has free images from most of our events in 2026 – these can all be found on the Results and Awards page of our website. Click through these amazing photo albums and find a good photo of your nominee.

If this step is left up to the Triathlon Manitoba office… we might not find the best photo of your nominee (see evidence above). So find one that makes your nominee look fast – because this might just be published for the community to see!

What’s in a good award nomination?

Triathlon Manitoba isn’t just asking for you to say an athlete had a great year (because in our books, if you participated, we think that is great too), we are asking you to build a case for why your nomination stands out in their award category.

But don’t fret… it isn’t that hard!

Step 3: Tell us a story.

Now that you’ve laid out all the facts, this is your time to beef it up. Instead of just saying “finished 3rd in St Malo sprint distance” give us some more context with something like “finished 3rd overall in the St Malo sprint triathlon, competing against 150 athletes and finishing within 90 seconds of the first place athlete.”

We love to see details like the field size, the level of competition, qualifications, margin for the podium, personal bests, whether the result was well earned and whether the athlete was making a comeback from a previous setback.

For the Most-Improved category, this is where your story matters even more. Tell us what your athlete did to get their results – strength training, cross training, joined a team, consistency, and more. It doesn’t hurt to breakdown paces in the sport that your nominee improved the most (eg. If your nominee went from a 2:30/100m swim to a 2:00/100m swim, tell us!).

For all categories, we love to hear about breakthrough performances, moving up distances or competition levels, mentoring other athletes, club involvement, representing Manitoba on a world stage, volunteering and general community involvement. Just remember – giving us an insight to the person behind the results will strengthen the nomination.

Triathlon Manitoba isn’t just asking for you to say an athlete had a great year (because in our books, if you participated, we think that is great too), we are asking you to build a case for why your nominee stands out in their award category.

But don’t fret… it isn’t that hard!

Step 2: Give us the cold, hard facts.

This is your opportunity to give us the evidence. The nomination form has a handy-dandy chart for you to list your nominee’s race times, locations, distances, placings, etc. The more information you include in the chart, the better your nomination!

You should include provincial races, but also let us know about national and international competitions. Final award decisions are made based on triathlons and other multi-sport events under the World Triathlon umbrella.

But don’t fret… it isn’t that hard!

Step 1: Pick the correct category.

Unfortunately, you can’t just nominate someone for Elite Athlete of the Year, just because you think they are fast. Triathlon Manitoba has described each category to help you with this step:

Elite: Excellence at the highest Provincial, National and International level.

Youth: Performance at the Youth level, including provincial, national and international competition. We’re looking for athletes 13-15 years old.

Junior: Performance at the Junior level, including provincial, national and international competition. We’re looking for athletes 16-19 years old.

Age Group: Strong age-group performance at provincial races and/or national/international championships.

Rookie: Excellent results in their first year of competition.

Most Improved: Significant improvement from the previous year, this category considers both improvements in time and placing.

Long Course: At least two races longer than Olympic distance, including at least one Triathlon Manitoba-sanctioned event (Hecla for 2026).

Best Teammate: The athlete that consistently supported, motivated and encouraged others.

Best Achievement: An athlete that had outstanding year but doesn't necessarily show up at the top of the results sheet. Had an epic race? We want to hear about it.

Volunteer: Someone you can count on to show up, lend a hand, and help keep our clubs, races, and events running smoothly.

Coach: A triathlon coach who inspires and supports athletes at every level, from helping beginners discover the sport to guiding seasoned athletes toward their next breakthrough.

Tyler Mislawchuk battles to bronze medal at World Triathlon Championship Series in China three-time Olympian captures second career podium on elite triathlon series!

Tyler Mislawchuk continues to prove age is just a number after swimming, cycling and running to the bronze medal step of the World Triathlon Championship Series podium on Saturday morning in Weihei, China.

The 32-year-old captured the second World Triathlon Series podium of his career, and first since 2019 when he hopped onto the third step of the podium at home in Montreal.

“I am pretty stoked. I’ve had a good season with results at World Cups, but this is my first World Triathlon Championship Series podium in seven years,” beamed Mislawchuk. “This is my fourth Olympic campaign. I’m in the best shape I’ve been in at 32 years young, but that’s just a number.

“It’s been a long road, and it means a lot to me. I want to thank everyone in my corner throughout all of it. It’s just a matter of showing up on the good days and the bad.”

The three-time Olympian from Oak Bluff, Man. showed up on Saturday, completing the 1.5-kilometre swim, 40-kilometre bike and 10-kilometre run in a time of 1:41:25.

Mislawchuk came out of the choppy, two-lap swim in 17th spot before bouncing around in the lead pack of 28 for eight trips around the slick bike course that forced the world’s best to ride cautiously. When foot hit pavement, Mislawchuk raced at the front of a group of five that opened a 15-second gap on the field within the first of the four-lap run test. The trio took their turns at the front until the final charge to the blue carpet when he was dropped to third place, 17 seconds behind the race winner, Max Struder.

“It been seven years with a lot of close calls, but there is nothing like being on the WTCS podium while going up against the best guys in the world,” added Mislawchuk. “I saw an opportunity today, and three kilometres into the run I went for it. The whole last five kilometres, I kept saying this is what you train for every day. It feels good to do it at the top level.”

And just like that… that’s a wrap on the 2026 Manitoba triathlon race season!

From the first splash of the season to the final finish line in Stonewall, you brought the energy, the determination, the questionable tan lines, and plenty of unforgettable moments.

Congratulations and thank you to every athlete, volunteer, official, race organizer, sponsor, community partner, and supporter who made this season possible. Thank you for showing up and making Triathlon Manitoba such an incredible community.

Now it’s time to recover, celebrate, and start thinking about 2027…
