Overseeing the adult Wolfpack Tri Team, he has incredible knowledge and expertise with inspiring athletes to achieve what they once thought was impossible. A big kid at heart, Coach Josh loves to work with kids! Hes helped coach the JCPRD Kids Tri Camp for 5 years and running, sits on the board for the JCPRD Kids Triathlon, and is highly involved in triathlon community. A 4-time Ultra Cycling World Record holder and 6-time Ironman Kona Qualifier, he also has street cred and knowledge about what it takes to compete at a high level. With a degree in Kinesiology, multiple certifications and experience, he has a strong educational background as well. We are excited to have him help coach our TRI913 Youth Tri Team!



Coach Katy has been with Johnson County Park & Recreation District for close to 9 years as the Race Director for all their multisport events as well as working with the Kansas City Corporate Challenge to facilitate their big race events. During her time with JCPRD, her favorite event has been the Kids Triathlon and the Kids Tri Camp, so it was a no-brainer to start a competitive youth tri team and have her be a part of it. As an athlete herself, she understands the benefits of being part of a team and is excited to bring her knowledge of the sport and her passion for developing youth to the TRI913 Youth Tri Team!
