Stars and Stripes Racing
About The Team
Stars and Stripes Racing's goal is to develop a team with a backbone of experienced US athletes and exciting new talent, with an added international flavour to help mentor the youngsters and produce a winning culture.
In addition, the young athletes who form Project Podium - USAT’s programme to develop talent to podium at their home Olympics in LA in 2028 - will also be given reserve slots across all of the supertri teams competing in 2024 to deliver enhanced world class racing opportunities.
Both Stars & Stripes Racing and the enhanced elite racing slots for Project Podium are part of supertri’s commitment to the ‘Future of Triathlon’ in the USA, to inspiring a new generation of short course racing fans, and encouraging more young people into the sport via accessible mass participation events such as Chicago Triathlon and Long Beach Legacy Triathlon.
The Manager
Parker Spencer
Stars & Stripes Racing is managed by Parker Spencer, USAT Olympic Coach of the Year and the head coach of USA Triathlon’s Project Podium, and is committed to returning the country’s triathletes to the top step of the Olympic podium.
supertri CEO and Co-Founder, Michael D’hulst, said: “Parker Spencer shares our vision on the huge potential for growth in the sport in the USA, by producing inspiring athletes that can thrive in LA 28 and ride a wave of momentum in interest, backed up by opportunities for people to compete in world class events no matter what their ability rather than seeing long distance events that have dominated the US triathlon scene and feeling the sport is not for them.”
