Future team member Luke Gorris, son of team members Mark and Lisa, made his triathlon debut this past weekend at the North canton YMCA youth triathlon. Following in his parents footsteps Luke put forth a solid performance in the 5-7 age group.

The race included a 25 yard swim, 1 mile bike and a 1 mile run that Luke powered through to the delight and disbelief of his family.

Looks like the Gorris’s are going to be on the podium for some time to come.

Way to go Luke.
