USAT publishes state triathlete analysis

 

USAT recently posted a state-by-state analysis of age group rankings using individual rankings for all 2009 ranked age-group triathletes. The report provides a state rank for four separate calculations including:

- The median score by state
- The number of triathletes ranked 90 or higher
- The % of ranked triathletes ranked 90 or higher
- The rank of each state by age group score

Overall, Georgia triathletes were back of the pack:

 

All States with Qualified Athletes

Median Score	Georgia Rank
Female	39
Male	45

 

 

All States with more than 100 Qualified Athletes (38 states)

Median Score	Georgia Rank
Female	28 of 38 states
Male	32 of 38 states

The state did pretty well in a ranking of states with triathletes with USAT scores >90.

Number of Athletes with scores >90 (Elite Age Group)

Gender	Georgia
Female	10 athletes 90+ = ranked 15th
Male	20 athletes 90+ = ranked 16th

However, when you calculate the percentage of athletes in each state with scores >90, Georgia slips back.

Percentage of Athletes with scores >90 (Elite Age Group)

Gender	Georgia
Female	0.81% = ranked 37th
Male	1.62% = ranked 42nd

The good news? Georgia is ranked first for Females in the 65-69 AG.
