Sarah Haskins of St. Louis shooting to qualify for Olympic triathlon

Submitted by Brent Hugh on Sun, 11/26/2006 - 8:46pm
St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Kathleen Nelson recently wrote about Sarah Haskins, a St. Louis area native who is a rising triathlete:
Haskins, 25, a graduate of Parkway South High, is the No. 2-ranked U.S. woman in the Olympic distance triathlon. As such, she has represented the U.S. in world cup meets in China, Japan, German, Spain, Mexico, Switzerland and New Zealand, and finished the season ranked 16th in the world. . . .

Haskins has risen to the elite level of triathlon like a meteor. Most triathletes peak in their late 20s or early 30s, after more than five years in the sport. Haskins competed in her first triathlon just 3½ years ago. Then again, she spent more than a dozen years laying the groundwork for her success.
