Whether it’s the University of Colorado, Navy or yet another strong team who will claim the title this year, USAT’s national events director, Jeff Dyrek, says, “Excitement is at an all-time high for this event. We have an extremely talented field of individuals and teams that will make for yet another thrilling day of triathlon action in Lubbock.”
The Olympic-distance Collegiate National Championships gets underway at 9 am on Saturday, April 17 in Lubbock, Texas. More than 900 competitors representing 100 college clubs will toe the line. Each college team is allowed to field seven men and seven women.
The championship race will be followed by a sprint race—comprised of a 500m swim, 17.6-mile bike and 5k run—for those collegiate athletes not competing in the Olympic distance event. Nearly 300 competitors have signed up for the sprint event.
