Triathlon isn’t just a sport anymore — it’s a pathway to opportunity.
Since becoming an Olympic medal sport in 2000, triathlon has exploded in popularity across the country, especially at the collegiate level. Today, there are over 100 college triathlon programs nationwide, and as of 2024, women’s triathlon officially became a full NCAA scholarship sport across Divisions I, II, and III.
That means young athletes — both men and women — now have more opportunities than ever to:
- Compete collegiately
- Earn athletic scholarships and NIL deals
- Represent Team USA at international and Olympic levels
At PacWest Endurance, our mission is simple: To develop the next generation of competitive multisport athletes — confident, skilled, and ready to chase their biggest goals.
