Meet DelMo Athlete Andrew Sangillo

Each month we highlight a DelMo Athlete. This month, meet professional Wild Child Triathlete, Andrew Sangillo!

The doctor said Andrew might not be able to run or ride a bike.

Andrew was born with a birth defect called bilateral clubfoot. He underwent surgery to cut both of his Achilles’ tendons at 1 month old and then put in casts up to his knees. He required regular specialist doctor visits and to wear braces and special shoes when he slept up until he turned 5 this past Summer in July. It’s a miracle that he was able to compete in the #VirtualTRIWW Wild Child Triathlon and is the reason his father started triathlons. Learn more HERE!
