MOST IMPROVED TRIATHLETE AWARDS 2024!

Very excited to announce the 8th annual Utah Tri Buzz MOST IMPROVED TRIATHLETE awards!  

The Most Improved awards aren't a perfect science, but it's our best effort to recognize people who stepped up their game this season on the local scene.

The methodology is pure math, comparing everyone's top 3 results in the Utah Triathlon Championship Series from 2024 to 2023. 

As an example, let's say Jane Triathlete's best 3 races in 2023 were 60th out of 100 (60%) at Series race 1, 80th out of 200 (40%) at Series race 2, and 100th out of 500 (20%) at Series race 3. The average of those 3 results = 40%.



Ms. Triathlete went to work in the offseason and it paid off. Her best 3 local races this past season were a 40%, 30%, and 20%, averaging to 30%... a 10% improvement year over year. In other words, she improved her average placing by 10 spots for every 100 participants.

Keep in mind that these and most of our other awards will continue to be based on the UTAH TRIATHLON CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES, which gives some structure and standardization to the process.

Once again this year, however, we also reached out to leaders at local clubs to see if any nominations came to mind... we got a few names back, so congrats to these folks as well!


So without further adieu, below are the M.I.T.'s for 2024! Please share with friends on the list!


"one by one I'll knock you out"
