Originally from a running background, Jake was crowned Australian Junior Champion eleven times over middle-and-long distance events before making the transition to triathlon at the age of 17. A brilliant 2018 season saw him grab no fewer than five top-five finishes at the top level, including silver in Yokohama, and a memorable second place in the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. In 2019, he recorded his first WTS victories after brilliant runs in Leeds and Hamburg twice saw him to the gold and end the year sixth in the overall ranking.
