Hauser boosts triathlon dominance with Hamburg win
Matt Hauser has successfully defended his Hamburg title in the World Triathlon Championships Series, extending his lead in the WTCS rankings and securing his fourth podium in four races this year. The 27-year-old Australian produced a trademark surge in the closing run leg to win Saturday's race by seven seconds. Hauser started strongly in the swim leg and was just behind the Alghero WTCS winner Miguel Hidalgo heading into the six-lap bike ride. Despite a couple of competitors crashing in the wet conditions, Hauser was able to transition into the final 5km run in the front pack. With 800m to go in the race, Hauser broke away from Portuguese rival Vasco Vilaça to take the tape and the gold medal to further cement his number one position. "I had an amazing time out there, executed the race exactly how I wanted," said Hauser. "In contrast to last year's win, I was first out of transition and it felt really great. With only Vasco sticking around for the last lap, I knew I had to play it smart and attack him before the finish. "A dream to go back-to-back on this iconic course." Up next in the series is Saint Raphael-Frejus on the French Riviera on August 31 as Hauser also eyes a glorious finale at the WTC Finals in Wollongong in October.

CVTC to start new Library Director diploma program in the fall
EAU CLAIRE — A new technical diploma at Chippewa Valley Technical College looks to certify people looking to become library directors. The Library Director program is a one-year, 12-credit technical diploma for those who already have at least 54 college credits and need only a few courses to be eligible for a library director position. Jennifer Cook, Library and Information Services Program Director at CVTC, said, 'Since we started the library program, we have had a number of students who already have degrees or some college credits and have found themselves in the role of library director. 'The Library Director diploma consists of four classes that the Wisconsin Department of Instruction have determined library directors will need in order to be a director in a small public library. The classes include: Basic and Advanced Library Administration, Outreach and Community Services and Managing and Organizing Collections. The classes can be taken over the course of a year, two in the fall and two in the spring.' Online courses of the technical diploma would bring a grade III certification, which Cook said refers to libraries serving a population of 3,000 people or less. Grade II and I certifications would allow those to operate at libraries serving larger populations. With the introduction of a new program, all technical colleges go through a process of getting approval by the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) and the WTCS state board. 'We have to show them the need for the program, the strength of the program and the market demand for such a program,' Cook said. 'Because we went through this process when we created the Library and Information Services and could track how many students came to the college for these four classes we were able to show the need for the new certificate.' CVTC's new program is expected to start in the fall, as applications are currently open. 'Small libraries in the state of Wisconsin are truly centers of their community,' Cook said. 'This program will help students who live and work in these small communities serve their communities. Libraries need to be flexible, advocate for their communities and be a place where all community members are welcomed with open arms. Our students come out of the program prepared to do all of these things, and are ready to serve their communities in the best way possible. 'My hope is that we build strong community spaces with library directors who are trusted by their community and community members. Libraries have always been part of the state of Wisconsin and I am excited that the students I work with are in the position to keep that tradition alive. I have graduated so many students that will be great library directors and library workers, and I know any community would be lucky to have them.'

Bahrain Victorious 13 Shine Worldwide
TDT | Manama Overcoming Adversity Bahrain Victorious 13 capped off the first weekend of June with a clean sweep of medals across Europe and North America. From Olympic-distance to long-course battles, the team demonstrated its trademark resilience—none more so than in Italy, where Olympic champion Cassandre Beaugrand sealed a comeback for the ages. Beaugrand's Return Beaugrand's win in the World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) race in Alghero was as much about resolve as speed. After a crash in Yokohama left her bruised and bed-bound with illness, the French star had barely trained in the two weeks prior. 'I didn't even know if I was racing,' she admitted. But what followed was clinical. Trailing early in the swim, Beaugrand bridged the gap on the bike alongside Maya Kingma, breaking away from the field with a blistering effort. Her signature footspeed then carried her past the tape, 39 seconds ahead of Bianca Seregni. Olivia Mathias rounded out the podium with her first WTCS medal. The result marks Beaugrand's first win of the 2025 series and reignites her campaign for the overall title. Unified Effort Across Continents In the men's WTCS race, Leo Bergere added bronze with a tactically sharp performance, leading a nine-athlete breakaway before closing strong on the run. Newcomer Vasco Vilaca, however, found himself boxed in after a slower swim start, finishing outside the top 30. While the result wasn't ideal, Vilaca remains a key part of the team's 2025 long-term strategy. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Bahrain Victorious 13 athletes were equally relentless. Taylor Knibb delivered another world-class effort at the T100 Triathlon San Francisco, finishing second after a dominant bike segment. On the men's side, Jelle Geens claimed silver behind Rico Bogen, while Marten Van Riel animated the race early and came home sixth. In France, India Lee put on a masterclass at Ironman 70.3 Tours Métropole, cruising to victory by five minutes and punching her ticket to the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Marbella. In Poland, Kacper Stepniak overcame a bike crash to sprint to silver at the Sierakow Triathlon, narrowly missing gold by just 14 seconds. The team's Hamburg campaign delivered another headline performance, with Kat Matthews claiming silver in the Ironman European Championship. Matthews led much of the day before being passed in the final stretch by Germany's Laura Philipp, but her time still eclipsed her record-setting mark from Texas earlier this year—among the fastest Ironman finishes on record. Legacy in Motion Founded under the vision of His Highness Shaikh Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Bahrain Victorious 13 has become a model of how elite sport can be both global and personal. With six Olympic and Paralympic medals and 15 world titles across the roster, the group thrives on shared ambition, unified by a culture that celebrates resilience as much as results. That ethos was on full display this weekend. From Beaugrand's emotional success to Matthews' relentless pace, each athlete carried not just the team colors but a sense of purpose that transcends the finish line. Looking Ahead With WTCS Paris, Ironman 70.3 Marbella, and the Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon, Bahrain Victorious 13's momentum couldn't be better timed. This weekend was a signal as much as it was a team's pursuit of excellence continues—not just across finish lines, but through every challenge sport and life throw their way.
