The USA Triathlon Foundation Ambassador Team includes age group athletes from across the United States who bring a diverse set of experiences and backgrounds in the sport. The USA Triathlon Foundation Ambassador Team embodies the goals of the USA Triathlon Foundation: to support and promote the virtues of triathlon, and to open pathways for all to swim, bike, and run.
“The Foundation ambassadors play an important role in transforming lives through sport by creating opportunities to swim, bike and run, drive fundraising efforts and make impacts in local communities across the U.S.,” said Lindsay Welker, Manager, Annual Fund and Foundation Operations for the USA Triathlon Foundation. “This year's team brings a diversity of age, abilities and backgrounds within multisport and includes several returning ambassadors who have made tremendous impacts for the Foundation.”
