BiPro, the endurance protein nutrition company operated by the Agropur Cooperative, signed pro triathletes Kirsten Kasper and Taylor Spivey to its team of athletes. Earlier this year, Renée Tomlin and Jessica Broderick also joined BiPro’s team. Kasper and Spivey train together in Southern California.
Spivey swam the distance freestyle at Cal Poly before gravitating toward triathlon. The Redondo Beach, CA native has steadily risen through the rankings this year after a ninth-place finish at the 2016 Montreal ITU Triathlon World Cup and an eleventh-place showing at the 2016 ITU World Triathlon Edmonton. Spivey is now ranked No. 50 in the world.
Kasper also competed collegiately, as a long-distance runner for Georgetown University’s track and field and cross-country teams. Ranked No. 11 in the world, Kasper has finished in the top 10 in seven different races this year.
