The Carol Peters Award

Carol Peters award is given out to club members in recognition and appreciation of tremendous commitment and contributions to the PSTC and the sport of triathlon.

It was created in 2015 by the Board in order to recognize club members who have spent time volunteering, contributing, coaching and advocating for the PSTC and triathlon in general.

No one represent those elements better than Carol Peters. Carol is the most enthusiastic, generous and inclusive triathlete you could think about. She is numerous time world champion in her age group but won't tell you that when you talk to her, she will instead comment on how strong or fast or improved you are.
