Watch over 50 IAAF Events Live and On-Demand at WCSN.com

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 28, 2008) -- USA Triathlon has added Focal Point Sunglasses - a preferred dealer of current USAT partner Rudy Project - as a corporate partner for 2008.

As part of the agreement Focal Point will offer USAT members expert guidance in the selection and purchase of prescription and non-prescription Rudy Project sunglasses.

Be sure to mention USAT to receive special consideration. Call: 1-800-640-1456, M-F 9-5 EST, or contact by e- mail.

"This partnership brings together three entities who are dedicated to providing the very best in product and service to multisport athletes," said Tim Yount, USAT senior vice president of marketing and communications. "Integrating prescription lenses directly into performance shades is a valuable and technical innovation. With Focal Point, Rudy Project customers are assured that they will have absolutely the correct prescription in their Rudy Project shades every time."

"The luxury of multiple choices in frame and lens design creates the need for optician and optometrist assistance in deciding what is best for your needs and/or your prescription," said Raymond Jimison of Focal Point Sunglasses. "Rudy Project is a must-have for multisport athletes, and Focal Point will help you with the selection process."
