    Women's Triathlon Assistant Coach - University of Arizona

    Bonney was instrumental in Arizona’s highly-successful inaugural season in 2023 that ended with a top-five finish at the Collegiate Triathlon National Championships. The Wildcats had a trio of student-athletes in Laura Holánszky, Lydia Russell and Dana Prikrylová all receiving All-American honors from the College Triathlon Coaches Association. The Wildcats were extremely competitive as a program from their first race of the season, a duathlon versus defending national champions Arizona State, and they continued to develop through an abbreviated season to finish among the best programs in the country by season’s end.

    A trailblazing student-athlete at Queens University, Bonney was one of the first women in the nation to earn a triathlon scholarship and was the first individual triathlon national champion in NCAA history. She also helped guide the Royals to a pair of NCAA Division II team national championships.

    Bonney was also an elite international triathlon competitor, beginning at age 17 in the International Triathlon Union World Circuit. Her professional experience also includes coaching as the Junior Elite Team Head Coach for Balanced Art Multisport. The Southern California native has also served as guide for USA Paratriathlon’s visually-impaired triathlon team in preparation for the 2024 Paralympic Games in France.
