Prairie State Cup 2026

The Prairie State Cup is a US triathlon race series held at Clinton Lake State Recreation Area near DeWitt, Illinois. Reports indicate a Saturday morning college-team setting, with university squads competing for places rather than a large public road-race crowd. Drury won the Cup with four Panthers in the top 10, suggesting team depth matters as much as the individual podium. Denver also brought three triathletes, all finishing in the top 16, and freshman Jenna Topott earned her first career podium at the race.
