VM - Today we’d like to introduce you to Katie DeRegnier.
Hi Katie, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
KD - In February, 2020, I decided to start my own mental health clinic. I was an independent contractor in Lakeville at the time, and the time was right for me to progress forward. I had help from my husband and mother-in-law organizing tasks, and identifying needs in order to own my own business. My first client was online in April 2020. I did not anticipate the pandemic, but it did allow me to start seeing clients online at home while saving money to own an office in the future....

1. Paige Schulz - Triathlete of the Year, Performance of the Year, Most Improved. Slam dunk #1.
2. Cami Eckhoff - Three wins and a 2nd in regional racing. The race for 2nd on this list between Cami and Elena Jasper was a close one. In the end, Cami's win at Buffalo Sprint, which was POY-nominated, and that she outraced Elena at Des Moines 70.3 made the difference.
3. Elena Jasper - A win, two 2nds, two 4ths - We loved that Elena raced exclusively (and successfully) in the most competitive regional and nationals events.
4. Tiffany Kari-Cizmas - Slam dunk Master of the Year. She raced often and excelled at Sprint, Olympic and 70.3. Slam dunk pick.
5. Cheryl Zitur - She may be 60, but she consistently outperforms younger credentialed triathletes. In 2025, she posted two overall sprint wins, a 2nd behing Eckhoff at Buffalo Sprint, and a Top 5 at Timberan Olympic. She set three age group records in the process. Her closest challenger for the #5 sport was Katie Deregnier, whose performances were solid despite a season-long injury that added minutes to her finish times. Rising teen star Adeline Althaus-Kotila was also discussed....

How were the ten members--five male and five female--of 2025 Team MInnesota determined? Let's start with the men.
The Top 3 required no debate. The Triathlete of the Year finalists in each gender claimed the Top three spots. Easy-peasy. The 4th and 5th spots, though, demanded a lot more discussion. Are we confident that we got it right? Absolutely not.
Here are the Men:
1. Nathan Kim - Triathlete of the Year & Performance of the Year. Spencer Syvertson was in the running for the Top Spot until Nathan outraced him at Madison 70.3. 2. Spencer Syvertson - Winner of six of the eight races he entered, Spencer was the clear choice for #2 on the Team. 3. Josh Blankenheim - Master of the Year and winner of two of the three tris he did in 2025. 4. Joe Adriaens - Joe had to duke it out with MItchell Clayton for the #4 spot. His win at Chicago 70.3 was significant and his 2nd at Timberman...
