Intercollegiate competition has been a cornerstone of organized athletics in the United States of America for over 100 years. Through collegiate athletics millions of students have been provided with the opportunity to participate in the sport of their choice during college, not only recreationally, but as a developmental ground for Olympic-caliber athletes. Until the late fall of 2005 there had been no concerted effort on the part of triathlon's national governing body to facilitate the development of the sport of triathlon at the collegiate level (an annual National Collegiate Championship notwithstanding). As such in the spring of 2006, California and western Nevada, representing over 500 student-triathletes, banded together to develop the basic structure for intercollegiate competition for the sport of triathlon. The result was the birth of the West Coast Collegiate Triathlon Conference (WCCTC) which successfully completed the first collegiate races series in the spring of 2006. In response to the WCCTC's highly successful inaugural season, the MWCTC has formed in the hopes of extending the intercollegiate triathlon racing to the Midwestern USA and beyond.
The Midwest Collegiate Triathlon Conference (MWCTC), founded in 2006, is an association of colleges and universities located in the Midwestern and Mideastern United States of America. The MWCTC is officially recognized as the governing body for the sport of triathlon at the collegiate level in the Midwestern United States of America by United States of America Triathlon (USAT), the national governing body of triathlon in the United States of America. The offices of the MWCTC are currently located in Dayton, Ohio USA. |
