Team Captain Hailey Manning Tearing It Up This Year


Hailey Manning, 3rd Amateur Female Overall at NOLA 70.3

Hailey Manning is from Ohio, now lives in Mountain View, CA. She works for Silicon Valley Bank, overseeing three branch/customer support location.  She couldn’t do this sport without her amazing sister, parents, and totally supportive husband, who also happens to be her coach. 

How She Got Started?
Got started with my sister after she had done her first one in Colorado…cut to a sprint tri later and I was hooked! Future hopes would be to keep having success and maybe take a stab at the pro ranks next year…

First Race of the Season…
NOLA 70.3.  She was SUPER excited going into the race.  “I felt good and rested, ready to tear it up! Disappointed that there was no swim, but tried to just go with the flow.”  

Check out Hailey’s Blog and her NOLA Race Report.
Oh, and btw, she was 3rd OA Amateur Female.  We Are So Proud!

Her first race of the season was earlier this month an Olympic in Napa, but NOLA was the first BIG race of the season. After Kona, she took a well deserved 6 weeks off from running and just kept workouts fun to keep from gaining too much weight!

Next up
Ironman TX on May 19th

Why do you love SOAS?
Because I don’t even notice the kit when it’s on, it’s just me and the race. AND they’re HOT!
