Stephanie Barbero was named the first head coach of the Roberts Wesleyan University women’s triathlon program in March 2023.
A Rochester native, Barbero participated in soccer, track and field and gymnastics as a student at Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women and has taught and coached at her alma mater for the past 20 years.
She participated in her first solo triathlon about 15 years ago and is an active member of Rochester Area Triathletes (RATs), serving on the group’s board. Barbero enjoys training for competition and has completed several sprint triathlons, two Ironman events and qualified for world championships in triathlon and competed in Spain at Duathlon Worlds.
When she isn’t teaching, coaching, training or competing, Barbero, who is the mother of three adult children, enjoys mountain biking and photography.
