Stan Davis was the recipient of TriUtah’s new annual award, the Mentor of the Year.  The award was presented at the Jack and Jill Triathlon on Friday, September 11th.  Two awards will be given annually to a male and female mentor who has inspired others to succeed in triathlon.

Here’s what those who nominated Stan had to say about him:

He bought his first bike from money that he earned shoveling snow off of rooftops in Park City. Stan has been racing for over 25 years, and has participated in over 250 races. He has raced at Escape from Alcatraz 4 times, and last year raced at Worlds in Switzerland.

Stan always helps people with their swimming technique, transitions, or any other detail about racing. He has motivated many people to race, including his daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren, and his wife!

Congratulations Stan as our 2009 Mentor of the Year!
