The Yale Triathlon Team was founded in Fall 2004 by Peter Chiu ’08 and Christopher Connelly '06 as the first intercollegiate club sport triathlon team in the Ivy League. In the course of a single year, the Yale Triathlon Team expanded rapidly from a small group of 15 highly motivated individuals to over 90 active members ranging from novices to ironman competitors. As of Fall 2005, the team has already placed 5th overall at the 2005 Collegiate Ironman National Championships and brought home many 1st, 2nd, and 3rd age-group finishes in triathlons across the nation.

D e f i n i t i o n
The Yale Triathlon Team is a coed group of Yale undergraduate students, graduate students, professional school students, faculty, staff, and alumni that voluntarily organize to pursue a recreational, athletic sport - triathlon - that is not otherwise offered at Yale. Competition and practice, while encouraged, is not mandatory.

P u r p o s e
1.) To fill the need for a uniquely structured sport activity that is competitive, recreational, and instructional in nature.

2) To provide a learning experience through student involvement in fund raising, organization, administration, budgeting, leadership, and scheduling, in addition to athletic skill in triathlon.

O p p o r t u n i t i e s
The Yale Triathlon Team offers the advantages of student leadership, flexibility, and non-regimentation. Club privileges include use of the Yale name, a small budget and athletic facilities when available. THe Yale Triathlon Team is supervised by the Athletic Department, but the day-to-day operations are run by club-nominated student officers. These functions include scheduling practices and matches, contacting trainers and referees, arranging transportation and budgeting.
