Ethan Mackie (Glenmore Park) entered his first triathlon in 2017 (the Nepean Enticer Triathlon).
Since then, he joined the Hills Tri Club and raced locally (often finishing in the top 3 placegetters for his age group).
Last season (2020/2021), Ethan placed 3rd for the 12yr category in the Triathlon NSW Club Championships.
He joined the Western Sydney Academy of Sport (WSAS) this season (21/22) and competed in the Billigence series, under the coaching of WSAS Head Coach James Sweeney.
Working hard on his swim leg, Ethan improved significantly and placed 3rd Youth Male at Billigence Macarthur and 1st Overall Male at the 2022 ‘Your Local Club’ Academy Games in Wagga Wagga.
Ethan also competes in Athletics and achieved National qualifying times for 3000m and 800m, and placed 3rd at the Little Athletics State Championships in both 3000m and 1500m.
