Noodling around the updated USA Triathlon website recently, we found the 2015 athlete rankings. We were curious to see how many Minnesota athletes earned All American honors in their AGs. The rankings are based on performances in USAT sanctioned events only--most Minnesota races are NOT USAT insured--and are dependent upon race directors to submit results in a timely fashion.
