The Oak Brook Park District’s eighth annual Cori’s Triathlon included 50 girls and boys who swam, biked and ran Saturday at the park district, 1450 Forest Gate Road.

Susan and John Sikich founded the Cori Sikich Foundation in memory of their daughter, Cori, who lost her battle with an eating disorder in 2002 when she was 25 years old. The foundation’s goal is to promote positive and healthy living at an early age.

The competition included six age/gender categories, ages 6-8, 9-11 and 12-14 for girls and boys. The distances for each of the three legs, swimming, biking and running, varied by age group.

Group winners were Nicholas Sfirnacius, boys, 6-8; Sofia Arteaga, girls, 6-8; Harrison Roberts, boys, 9-11; Dakota Kennedy Austin, girls, 9-11, who won her division for the second consecutive year; Nathan McIntyre, boys, 12-14; and Jordan Gwyen Austin, girls, 12-14, who won for the third consecutive year.
