As the old collegiate representative I am happy to inform you that we have a new USAT collegiate representative.
Zuzana (Zuzka) Trnovcova from the MIT triathlon team will be our representative for the next two years. You can direct any questions about nationals, collegiate rules or the direction collegiate triathlon is moving to her. The NECTC will be in direct contact and will be working with Zuzka, USAT and the other USAT triathlon conferences in the nation.
The role of the USAT collegiate representative is to have a way that the collegiate teams are supported and heard. The past few years the representatives have pushed to keep from USAT having complete control. This became a huge issue when they wanted to have the race at Reno, NV only because they could get it televised. After that we worked to improve scoring, registering, issues with how the races are ran and we pushed to bring races on the east coast on a regular basis. If you have any concerns with Nationals, rules or how things are done you can send your concerns to Zuzka and they will be heard. You must realize that the board has to consider every team in the nation so your concerns might not be address but the more you speak up the more the board pushes.
One direction that we are headed is concerns with how fast nationals sells out every year. Each year the number of participants increases and it causes the race to sell out earlier. We have already moved to a limit of 20 members per team. One of the thoughts is to have each conference (NECTC) to select the top teams and individuals for nationals. The number of teams and members that get to go will be based on the size and strength of each conference. Thus the larger and faster our conference becomes the more people we will send to nationals. If this system gets implemented it will not be for 3 to 4 years. Yet if you have thoughts or concerns with this your opinions will help mold and direct how this or if this will get implemented.
For questions about the NECTC you can contact Keisuke Inoue our conference director. For questions about the NECTC website you can still contact me, Bret Fortenberry.
