Gainesville, Ga - The Brenau University Basketball and Swim Teams served as volunteers at the Hall County Habitat for Humanity Triathlon held last Saturday to raise funds for the activities of Habitat for the coming year.  There were a total of 23 coaches and athletes from the two teams that came out in a driving rainstorm to assist with the event.

There were a total of 150 competitors in the adult division in which each athlete swims 500 yards, bicycles 15 miles and runs 3 miles.  That was followed by a kids division of nearly 80 children that competed.  The swimmers from BU served as "angels in the water" during the swimming portion of the competition and the basketball team helped out at the transition station and throughout the biking and running courses.

"This was a great opportunity for all of us to get involved with an organization whose mission is giving back to others," said Brenau swim coach Blaire Bachman.  "We had so much fun and can't wait to get involved with helping build a house this year."
