Amy Flowers is one of the most iconic athletes ever to be on our squad. She received the 2022 "Juicebox" Award for finishing the Ironman World Championship with a torn ACL. Amy loves the bike and her goal is typically to "smash as many people as possible" on two wheels.

Nick is a multiple time WC Qualifier. In 2024, Nick was awarded the "Tornado Award" for his humor, heart, and dedication to the team.

2024 will be Jason's second year on the squad. He finished his first Ironman at IM Chattanooga last year. His performance earned him the 2023 Rookie of the Year Award. Jason's drive and focus is undeniable.

Julie was a rookie to Valiant Endurance in 2023. She came to the team wanting to improve her swim and bike so she was more competitive in her age group. Julie ended up landing on the podium multiple times in 2023 including multiple overall podiums. 

2024 is Jack's first year on the Valiant Endurance Squad, but he is not new to triathlon. Jack is the VP of the Corpus Christi triathlon club, an Ironman, and multiple podium athlete. Jack is married and has two little girls. He's got a positive attitude that we believe will help him achieve his goals of qualifying for the 70.3 World Champs this season.

Collin is a rookie triathlete this season with big goals on the horizon. With a collegiate track and cross country background, his high-performance run background will be a threat to anyone he faces this year. Collin is excited to be part of the team and we look forward to big things from him in 2024 and beyond.

2024 will be Robert's second season on the team. Robert is a multiple 70.3 finisher and has some big goals for this season. Robert is one of the quieter athletes on the squad but that doesn't mean he isn't driven and excited to get the most out of himself.
