In the overcast and drizzly morning of August 31, 2013 , the Triathlon team competed in their second race of the season, the Lake George Triathlon, in Lake George, NY.  This was an Olympic triathlon, meaning a 0.9 mile swim, a 24.8 mile bike, and a 6.2 mile run. The Men's team came in 6th in NECTC, while the women's team came in 5th.

The men's team had their usual standouts, Joe Huyett, and Luke Niezelski, who came in 6th and 23rd with the times 2:09:49 and 2:16:46 respectively. In addition, there were a number of men who had never raced before. Jack Rees came in 42nd, with a 2:25:18. Andrew Isherwood came in 118th, with a 2:58:51. Terrance Brennan and Nick Noga also made their debuts with the Stevens team despite doing races before finishing with 2:55:01, and 2:40:01.

The women's team on the other hand was dominated by Elizabeth Heinbach, who came in 47th overall with a 2:28:04. This was her first race with the team, although she has competed before. The same is the case for Elena Piper who came in 100th with a 2:47:08. Unfortunately Megan Lisbon, one of the normal frontrunners for the women's team crashed on the bike, and was not able to finish. Other participants were Anne Fodor and Sharon Rooker, finishing with 2:45:52 and a 2:48:54.

The next triathlon is Buckman, a sprint, which will be held in Lebanon, NJ on September 15, 2013. This is the team's third triathlon of the season. There will be 15 people participating. The team hopes to keep improving and get a leg up on the other teams in the conference.
