On February 1, 2008, the inaugural USA Triathlon Southeast Regional Youth and Junior Teams were announced for 2008. Consisting of the top-ranked athletes throughout the Southeast Region, the members serve as ambassadors for the 2008/2009 USAT Southeast youth and junior development initiative. The local triathlon club, TRI Peachtree City, is sponsoring the sisters Taylor and Ashton Lego by providing the young ladies with training schedules and apparel. The girls are spending their summer break training and competing throughout the Southeast Region.

Recently, Ashton Lego, 15, and her sister, Taylor, took first and second place, respectively, in the Buster Britton Sprint Distance Triathlon in Pelham, Ala. This was the third race of the season that had the Lego sisters taking either first or second in their age group.
