From left: USA Triathlon enjoyed more consistent branding at its national events in 2010. A record number of athletes participated in the 2010 Accenture USA Paratriathlon National Championship in New York. Tanelle Berard won her second straight Junior Elite National Championship title in San Diego.
Paratriathlon made headlines with the announcement of its inclusion in the program for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The sport demonstrated continued growth and set participation records at the Accenture USA Paratriathlon National Championship in New York City.
Additionally, collegiate triathlon continued to demonstrate massive growth. USA Triathlon and the Collegiate Committee continued to develop the rules and guidelines of collegiate triathlon to enhance the experience and generate more opportunities for athletes. Additionally, USA Triathlon continued its work with the NCAA to fi nalize its proposal to have triathlon designated as an Emerging Sport for Women and, hopefully, a scholarship sport in the future.
