Reed Out Races Kemper & Potts to Secure Spot on US Olympic Triathlon Team

Instinct and smart racing helped Matt Reed come away with a win at the US Oympic Triathlon Trials in Tuscaloosa, Alabama over the weekend. A move on the final lap of the bike course, put Reed in position that ultimately led to him breaking the tape in the 1.5k swim / 40km bike / 10k run event.

Reed bested former Olympians Hunter Kemper and Andy Potts to join Jarrod Shoemaker on the US Triathlon Olympic Team.
