Collegiate Commission

The USA Triathlon Collegiate Commission is assembled to better the sport of collegiate triathlon and to give regional institutions a representative to whom they can voice their concerns and opinions.

Reconstituted in the spring of 2005, the Collegiate Commission has accepted the challenge of developing and promoting the sport of triathlon among the collegiate ranks. The Collegiate Commission directs and administers the policies to be implemented at Collegiate Nationals, as well as, increasing the awareness and development of triathlon at the collegiate level.

Regional Representatives

The USA Triathlon Collegiate Commission is composed of eight members. Of these, six are regional representatives. Regional representatives serve a two-year term on the Board and are responsible for representing the states within their region. Term limits will run approximately from May to the end of Collegiate Nationals two years later, and each collegiate club in the region will have one vote towards the election of their representative.

To qualify to be a regional nominee, one must: 

• Currently be an athlete or coach on a collegiate triathlon team in the region they represent
• Be able to fulfill a two-year term limit as a member of a collegiate triathlon team in that region 

To qualify to be an elite nominee, one must:

• have finished in the top 10 male or female finishers in the most recent collegiate nationals
• be able to fulfill a two-year term limit while continuing as an eligible collegiate triathlete throughout their entire term limit
