USA Triathlon - June 18, 2008

Nine up-and-coming U.S. triathletes will compete at the International University Sports Federation's (FISU) 9th annual World University Championships in Erdek, Turkey, on June 28.
The triathlon events for men and women are draft-legal, Olympic distance races (1.5 kilometer swim, 40 kilometer bike, 10 kilometer run), with 134 athletes (74 men, 60 women) from 21 countries set to compete.

The U.S. team of five men and four women includes several current members of the USA Triathlon Elite Athlete Development Program and the USAT Trade Team. Their accomplishments are impressive, with a number of past World Championship team members, the reigning male and female USAT U23 National Champions, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 USAT Collegiate National Champions, 2007 and 2008 U.S. Armed Forces National Champion, and past USAT junior and U23 athletes of the year.
