Hunter Kemper
Hunter KemperHunter Kemper competed at the first Olympic triathlon at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games coming seventeenth and at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, finishing ninth place.

Kemper was named the 2005 USOC Sportsman of the Year and is the only American male triathlete to ever be ranked world #1 by the International Triathlon Union (ITU). In July 2006, he won the Lifetime Fitness Triathlon in Minneapolis, MN, winning what was at the time the largest purse in professional triathlon competition.

2006 was a successful year for Hunter as his goal was to focus more on the "big" races of the season. He accomplished this goal by winning the grand prize at the Lifetime Fitness "Battle of the Sexes" Triathlon in July.

After finishing the 2005 racing season ranked #1 in the world, Hunter climbed his way back up to the #1 position for a majority of the 2006 season finishing on the podium in 3 out of his first 4 World Cups. At the Long Beach Triathlon in June, Hunter won his 6th Pro National Championship Title.
