| Bio |
Kylie started triathlon in 2019 as an ex-runner with one question of her coach, “Can you turn me into an Ironman winner?”. This was quite the question, given Kylie had not yet even done a 70.3 and had little to no swim and bike background.
Athletic Career and Achievements
2020 came around and Kylie came 4th in Cairns Ironman on debut, with a conservative plan of just to finish in one piece.
2021 the plan was a little less reserved and Kylie won with a 2:52 closing marathon in the heat and then backed that win up with another in Busselton, Western Australia.
2022 started slowly with some injuries/surgeries, however finished strongly, having qualified for 2021 and 2022 Ironman World Championships. Kylie raced four Ironmans and two 70.3 in a number of months to close the year out with podiums in all races.
2023 saw Kylie atop of many dias, notably crowning her the season’s Australian and Asia Pacific Champion with a First place respectively at Ironman Australian and Cairns Ironman Asia Pacific. Her efforts catapulted her into PTO (Profession Triathlon Organisation) World Rank #40.
In 2024, Kylie had multiple top 10 finishes in some of the USA and Australia’s most prestigious races. She frequently overcame deficits in the swim (often ~10-12 minutes) by posting top-tier bike times and the fastest run splits, sometimes running sub-3 hours in full Ironman races.
Recent results: during 2025, Kylie continued to cement her prowess, finishing 4th at Ironman 70.3 Port Macquarie and 6th at Ironman Cairns.
Rankings: currently ranked #245 globally and #21 nationally by PTO, as well as 48th in the 2025 Ironman Pro series.
Sport background: Kylie found running while growing up on a cattle farm but only began to take it seriously after university. A series of injuries saw her incorporate swimming and cycling into her training which then led her into the world of triathlon. Her strong run background has laid a base for a world class bike run combination. One of the best runners in triathlon, she plans to have the front runners looking over their shoulders from a long way out for years to come.
