Switzerland Co. grad qualifies for Women’s Triathlon National Championship

(HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, KY.) – A 2022 Switzerland County graduate has qualified for the Women’s Triathlon National Championship. 

Alisha Detmer is a senior at Northern Kentucky University and is part of the school’s triathlon team. 

Detmer had a strong performance at the East Regional Performance earlier this month which qualified her for the national competition. 

The upcoming race will consist of a one-lap 750m lake swim, a three-lap 20km bike course, and a two-lap 5km run near the campus of Arizona State University.  

Detmer is one just two NKU triathlon members that will compete nationally. 

She was recently spotlighted by Northern Kentucky University. Watch here:

NKU triathlon coach Brooks Doughtie said, “Excited for Detmer to finish off her senior year and all that she has accomplished for the Norse, and this is going to be a great experience for Bigam to race with the best competition to propel her forward with her career with the Norse."  

Women’s Triathlon National Championship will take place in Arizona on November 8.
