Jack Howell ~ Para Triathlete
Hi, I’m Jack
Elite Para Triathlete for Australia
I was born with a limb deficiency of my left hand and have always been determined, a problem solver, a larrikin, and a bit sports mad!
I am 20 years old and currently ranked Number 2 in the World PTS5 Para Triathlon category. I am a Paralympian, placing 7th at the 2024 Paris Paralympics and aim to compete through to the 2028 LA and 2032 Brisbane Paralympics.
Paris Paralympian
In September 2024, I competed in my debut Paralympics and placed 7th. The Paralympic qualifying period for Para Triathlon closed on the 30 June 2024 and I qualified ranked Number 5 in the Top 9 for the 2024 Paris Paralympics. Rankings were based on points from my best 3 races.
​
I am currently training and racing in World PTS5 Para Triathlon, aiming to continue my development and qualify for the 2028 LA Paralympics. This requires some solid training and significant funds to travel, train, and race!
