SAN PEDRO DE LA PAZ – Canada’s Sophia Howell reached the World Triathlon Cup podium for the first time Sunday after a third-place finish in the sprint-distance race.
Howell, from Airdrie, Alta., finished the 750-metre swim, 20-kilometre bike ride and five-kilometre run in one hour one minute 12 seconds.
“I’m so excited,” said the 23-year-old Howell. “I didn’t expect this today so I’m over the moon.”
Howell was three seconds behind Jeanne Lehair of Luxembourg and nine seconds behind champion Miriam Casillas García of Spain.
Emy Legault of L’Ile Perrot, Que., was 12th.
In the men’s race, Charlottetown’s Martin Sobey was the top Canadian in 14th.
