Tyler Smith and Erica Hawley perform well in Mexico
Tyler Smith and Erica Hawley produced creditable performances at the Americas Triathlon Championships in Veracruz, Mexico.
Smith finished ninth after completing the Olympic distance course in 1hr 46min and 4sec, just over two minutes behind winner John Reed of the United States. The silver medal went to Martin Sobey, of Canada, with Canadian Brock Hoel third.
Coming off last month’s impressive third place at the World Triathlon Cup Yeongdo in South Korea, Hawley continued her good form when finishing eleventh in 2:02:3.
Home favourite Rosa Tapia Vidal picked up the gold followed by Gina Sereno, of USA, with Canadian Emy Legault completing the podium.
It has been a good season for Hawley after she picked up her maiden professional win competing in the Americas Triathlon Cup in Montreal on July 5.
