Triathlon New Zealand announced today a team of six athletes to compete at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Included in the team WHAC’s Kate McIlroy who has been selected for both the Women’s Individual and Mixed Relay. This will be Mcllroy’s second Games having competed in Melborne (2006) in the 3000m Steeplechase. While Mcllroy has turned her focus to triathlon since 2009 she still has close ties to the club and has been known to throw on club colours at National Road Relays over the last few years.
