Who We Are The Triathlon Club at the Valdosta State University is a club sports level university-sponsored team. We are also a USAT (USA triathlon organization) sanctioned club. Our team holds open practices to anyone who is interested in the sport of triathlon. Our club has members representing all levels of expertise from newbies to age group winners to Ironman finishers. The sport of triathlon is relatively new, especially at the collegiate level. This can often times intimidate students who not aware of the options within the sport. Our biggest goal is to take the intimidation out of the sport and create a fun and relaxed atmosphere to train, race, and share tips. Our team focus is to support each other in practice and races, help each other meet our individual goals, and have fun while we learn about each other and the sport. We hope to become a close knit group who has a positive impact on each other and the campus. ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER When you join our team, you can be as competitive as YOU want to be, we merely urge everyone to have some kind of goal and enjoy your experience trying to reach it. Many members are looking for some team unity, a way to keep fit and healthy, and accountability in themselves and others. As a first year club, we will compete in the SECTC (South Eastern Collegiate Triathlon Conference) and hopefully have some strong competitors. In time we hope to have a strong reputation for both a relaxed club as well as a competitive team in the SECTC and at the national level. The Triathlon Club at the Valdosta State University was founded with the purpose of serving the Valdosta community through the promotion of education, camaraderie and fitness in the sport of triathlon. As a new club at the University, we presently find ourselves in an exciting stage of growth and development. Fall of 2007 is the first year as a University recognized Student Organization and a Club Sports Team. This means that we represent VSU and receive minimal financial support. We do not receive any coaching, scholarships, or any other benefits from the school. Those are all reserved for varsity team programs. Our team is completely 100% organized and led by our student members and volunteer coaches.
