The 2025 UniSport Nationals Triathlon was held as part of the Peoplecare Triathlon Wollongong this past weekend, bringing together over 70 of the country’s top university athletes to compete across sprint and standard distances. 

Stand out performances from student athletes who podiumed for Unisport Nationals and for the Peoplecare Triathlon Wollongong within the standard distance included Joshua Wooldridge, University of Technology Sydney with an impressive 3rd place.
