Why: Jeffrey Poole, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering, is the director of the BAMA Triathlon. He said that the triathlon is open to anyone who wants to participate and there are free t shirts and food for participants. Poole also said that the triathlon is something that has not been introduced completely to the University yet and he is hoping to bring it to UA.
“It’s not just another 5K,” Poole said. “It’s something new that [someone] could try and it’s right here on campus, so they don’t have to go far [to participate].”
