Once again this season, the previously named ‘U23 Development Squad’ and Emerging Talent Squads’ will continue to be merged and be known as the ‘NSWT Development Squad’.
This will target Billigence Series Races, Australian Junior Championships, World Triathlon Junior and U23 Events and also offer Training and Race Camp experiences.
