VERMILLION, S.D.—Trips to the Black Hills, Texas and Arizona highlight the Coyotes' triathlon schedule for the fall of 2023 announced Monday by head coach Kyle Joplin.
 
An early season cross country race at the Augustana Twilight on Sept. 1 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, will serve as training for the final stage of a triathlon race.
 
The Coyotes open the triathlon season with a trip to triathlon newcomer TCU for the Battle at the Fort race on Sept. 17 in Fort Worth, Texas.
 
South Dakota will turn around two weeks later and travel west for a pair of competitions. Black Hills State will host the BHSU Relays on Sept. 30 in Spearfish, South Dakota, ahead of the Black Hills Collegiate Cup scheduled for the following day in Belle Fourche.
 
Those races will serve as preparation for the West Regional Championship held Oct. 14 in Springfield, Missouri. The Coyotes will look to qualify through to nationals from the regional meet.
