It’s back to school time.
Time to hit the books and check out the new recruits on campus. It’s also time for the return of our On
Campus column which tracks the collegiate multisport scene. This month, James Fazio, our regional
collegiate representative, looks at the upcoming Mid-Atlantic Collegiate
Championship, elections for the national Collegiate Triathlon Association Board,
and the possibility that the 2003 National Collegiate Championship may be
coming to the Region!
BIG LICK
Hello fellow collegiate triathletes. Welcome back to school. I want to remind all of you to sign up for
the Outback Big Lick (Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Championship) race as soon as
possible. This race is September 21,
2002. The race entries doubled in the
last week and it is expected to begin filling rapidly. If your team is sure it is going to attend
but has not yet had a meeting, please let me know so I can advise the race
administration. Email me at
triathlete@vt.edu.
All race information can be found at

If you have any questions, please let me know.
ELECTIONS
As I mentioned in the spring, we will hold an election for
our representative for the National CTA board.
This person will replace me and insure that our Region remains strong
and continues to compete, as well as represent us at the National level. I will work with this person and get him or
her up and running before I finish school.
This person will also work with Rob Vigorito and the Mid-Atlantic USAT Board
and will represent the needs of collegiate triathletes. I plan to continue my involvement in the CTA
at a national level by trying to get more support across the nation and to
organize other regions.
2003 NATIONALS
The bid process for the 2003 Collegiate National
Championship has begun and a decision will be made this fall. Bill Scott of Set-Up, Inc. is bidding on the
race with a Charlotte, N.C. race location.
Let’s wish Bill and Set-up luck in the bidding process and hope for the
USAT Board to select this race as the 2003 Collegiate National Championship.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
