COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (BRAIN) — The USA Triathlon Hall of Fame is welcoming six multisport members as part of the 2014 class of inductees.

Among the honorees are Dan Empfield, founder of Slowtwitch.com and Quintana Roo and renowned fitter, Olympic bronze medalist Susan Williams and Ironman World Champion Tim DeBoom. They are joined by age-group competitors Bill Bell and Karen McKeachie and paratriathlete Carlos Moleda.

All six will be honored at a banquet April 18 at the Harvard Club in Boston, as part of a celebration of endurance sports for the Boston Marathon.

"We are thrilled to welcome this stellar class into the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame," said Jon Gray Noll, chair of the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame executive committee. "The inductees represent every aspect of multisport, from elite athlete to contributor, and we could not be more proud of both their accomplishments and their respective roles in the promotion of our sport."

Tickets to the induction banquet can be purchased for $95 at Active.com, and parties who want to purchase a table should contact Ellis Davis at ellis.davis@usatriathlon.org.

The USA Triathlon Hall of Fame was founded in 2008, and including this year's honorees, has inducted 33 of multisport's contributors and athletes.
