Haskins secured the final spot on the three-member U.S. women's team with a sixth-place finish Sunday at the Hy-Vee Triathlon. The silver medalist at the world championships two weeks ago finished well ahead of the other contender for the U.S. berth, Sarah Groff.
Groff had to be the first American finisher in the ITU World Cup race to claim the spot. Defending champion Laura Bennett was the top American with a fourth-place finish. Australia's Emma Snowsill, a three-time world champion, won the race, earning $200,000 for the victory.
Bennett and Julie Ertel already had secured spots on the U.S. team.
