After a six-month offseason, the Minnesota Multisport Honors (MMH) Committee is back! This year, instead of Simon and Garfunkel, the Committee will be comprised of Bonnie and me, Clyde. We’re SUPER excited to start discussing, arguing, and fangirling over the results of Minnesota’s top age group triathletes. So, to kick things off for 2025, here are the Committee’s June Athletes of the Month with some additional commentary for your reading pleasure.
Female Athlete of the Month: Cami Eckhoff
Cami started her 2025 campaign with a win at the Buffalo Sprint tri in early June. Her time was bonkers – a 1:04:16 – rivaling some of the best women to have ever raced in Minnesota. Just a week later she popped a PB time of 4:46:03 at the Des Moines 70.3, which was good enough for 2nd place overall....

The 40th TIMBERMAN, Minnesota's premier "Destination Triathlon," is happening next Saturday and you can still get in. Registration doesn't close until 11:59 PM on Thursday (7/10), so we encourage those who are currently on the fence about enrolling to join the 300-or-so athletes who have already registered, on the shoreline of Sugar Lake next weekend. RACE INFO
This year's SPRINT race should be especially exciting. Most of the "usual suspects" are returning, plus a few talented folks that are making their Timberman debut.
In alpha order, here are some of the projected frontrunners and some of the Age Group elites.
Overall:
- MITCHELL CLAYTON - Minnesota's 2016 Junior of the Year has demonstrated adult-level star quality since returning to the sport after a long absence. A podium is not out of the question.
- BROOKS GROSSINGER - Brooks is a six-time Timberman winner, twice in the Olympic and four times in the Sprint. He's coming off a fine performance at Des Moines 70.3 (11th overall/ 1st 45-49M). A seventh T-Man win is certainly possible...
"...A Big Deal"...

Abby Williams, 17, from Winona, MN made her debut in the Sprint Trinona on Sunday, June 8, 2025, finishing on top of the podium for her age group.
Though this may not seem like a big deal to some, to Abby and her family it was a day of great pride and accomplishment.
In February of 2024, in the last regular season basketball game before section playoffs, Abby tore her ACL and meniscus. Abby had surgery in March of 2024 to repair these injuries.
Abby’s recovery was not easy. She worked extremely hard and by the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year she was back in the pool (with restrictions) with her teammates where she CO-OP’s with the Winona Senior High-Cotter Swim and Dive Team. Abby has been a member of the varsity team since 7th grade.
Abby continued to strengthen her knee through PT and weight room workouts. Abby was cleared late in the swim season to swim her signature stroke: the breast stroke, which she holds the school record in. After only swimming this stroke two times before the section meet, she retained her section title in both the 100 yard breast stroke and the 200 IM (individual medley) and earned a trip to the MN State High School Swim And Dive Tournament. Abby finished 5th in both of her events...
