Nominations are now open for the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame Class of 2014, and will be accepted through Saturday 15 November 2014.
Nominations for outstanding contributors, elite and age-group athletes who meet specific criteria must be submitted through the official nomination form (PDF). Eligibility criteria for each category can be found at usatriathlon.org/hof.
All nominations will be reviewed by a selection committee to ensure that nominees meet the criteria. All nominations meeting the criteria will be forwarded to a voting committee, which will consider the merits of each nominee and make the final designation.
Designees will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at a banquet in their honour to be held in 2015.
The USA Triathlon Hall of Fame was founded in 2008. Confirmed in early 2014 and inducted in Chicago on 26 June 2014, the Class of 2013 brings the total number of inductees to 27.
