The Jack Boericke Foundation

Jack Boericke was a very talented triathlete who competed for Optima Racing Team over a number of years with great success.

Tragically, Jack died at the age of 16 in 2011. The Boericke family as well as Jack’s friends at Optima set up a Foundation in his memory to help those young people who would not otherwise have chosen or continued a career in triathlon given the costs associated with the sport.
