MADISON, Wis. — On April 24, 2010, Gwen Jorgensen was first to cross the 50-yard line inside Camp Randall Stadium, winning the Crazylegs Classic in a record time of 26 minutes, 48 seconds. She hasn't looked back since.
A month after her win in Madison, Jorgensen was in Spain, finishing second at the World University Triathlon Championships – in her first-ever triathlon. That performance paved the way for her to earn USA Triathlon Rookie of the Year honors and set the stage for Jorgensen to become the most decorated women's triathlete in history.
Jorgensen returned to her alma mater to win Crazylegs again in 2011. Since then the former Badgers swimming, track and cross country athlete has gone on to win Olympic gold, claim a pair of world championships and tally a record 17 World Triathlon Series titles.
