MOST IMPROVED TRIATHLETE AWARDS 2019!


Very excited to announce the 3rd annual Utah Tri Buzz MOST IMPROVED TRIATHLETE awards!

 These awards (and many others) will be handed out at the end of season party this Thurs, Oct. 3rd  (SEE BELOW!)  ↓↓

 If you didn't see on our Facebook page, there's an all-inclusive, end of season party THURS, OCT 3rd (~5:30-8:30) at the University Guest House on the U of U campus. Come enjoy some good company and food as we also hand out season awards and send off locals competing at Kona!  Here's the link for more details!
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 2018 to 2019.

As an example, let's say Jane Triathlete's best 3 races in 2018 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 year were a 40%, 30%, and 20%, averaging to 30%... a 10% improvement from last 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.


So without further adieu, below are the Top 15 M.I.T.'s for 2019! Please share with friends on the list!

Note: Andrew Elmer & Jenna Goodrum have been M.I.T.'s 2 yrs in a row, a very difficult task!

We started a Patreon account (link below) with the hope of raising a few bucks towards awards & swag for athletes of all abilities in our tri community. We've given out a lot over the past 3 years, but would like to continue to expand our offerings & the volume we can do.

If you enjoy Utah Tri Buzz and would like to pitch in, any amount would be greatly appreciated... (there may be something in it for you as well!)


We're also always grateful for talented people who contribute in terms of time... let us know if you'd like to be part of the Utah Tri Buzz team.
