The IRONMAN triathlon has quick become engrained in the culture of the Chattanooga community. It is an eagerly-anticipated event every year. The Mocs are displaying their own version of iron-men in the duo of junior Nat Dixon and sophomore Makale Foreman.
 
Dixon leads the SoCon in minutes averaging 34.5, while Foreman's 33.1 per game is second. Both already exceeded their output from last year. Dixon's 517 minutes is 43 more than last year's total, while Foreman (502) is nearly 200 higher than the 319 last season. In fact, their 1,019 combined total is more than half what all the returnees combined had for their CAREERS entering 2017-18 (1,909: Rodney Chatman-623, Dixon-474, Makinde London-460, Makale Foreman-319 & Dylan Brewster-33)
