Athletic career and achievements

Meg Dirito is an American professional triathlete whose sporting journey has taken her from elite swimming to racing at the highest levels of long-course triathlon and XTERRA competition.

As both an athletic and academic scholar to Bucknell University, Meg:

Qualified for the NCAA Championships and US Olympic Trials in the 50m and 100m freestyle.
Set team, meet and Patriot League records.
3 x All-Patriot League selection.
Received the Christy Mathewson Award as Bucknell's top graduating female athlete.
Inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame as the fastest sprinter in the university's history.

After discovering triathlon in 2018, Meg quickly established herself among the world's leading age group athletes. She qualified for five World Championships, including the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, earned USA Triathlon All-American honours for three consecutive years, and was ranked No. 2 in the United States and No. 6 globally in long-course triathlon as an age grouper.

Turning professional in 2023, Meg made an immediate impact, setting a personal best in her professional debut at IRONMAN Florida. She has since expanded into off-road racing, winning the professional field at both XTERRA New Jersey and XTERRA EX2 in 2024 to qualify for the XTERRA World Championship in Italy.

Alongside her racing career, Meg is a part-time emergency veterinarian, wife, mother of two and passionate advocate for showing what is possible through persistence, discipline and consistent growth.

Meg’s 2026 race calendar includes:

Gravel Worlds Triple
Susquehanna River Running Festival Half Marathon
World Final (10km & 2km Open Water Swimming)

While her performance goals are:

Break 1:30 in the half marathon
Podium at the Open Water World Final in both events
Strong finish at Gravel Worlds

Amongst all this, Meg is also launching a training app, Unbreakable Endurance, to support fellow athletes juggling career and sports aspirations and launching her own Zoot Sports kit design, with proceeds helping to offset travel costs as she continues competing internationally.

Recent results:

2025

IRONMAN Chattanooga – 16th

Challenges and opportunities

Balancing life as a professional athlete, emergency veterinarian and mother of two requires exceptional discipline. Meg is passionate about sharing the realities behind elite performance, openly discussing the early mornings, demanding training, compassion fatigue from veterinary work and the challenges of juggling motherhood with professional sport. Her message is simple: it's always you versus you.

She is building an audience that includes fellow professional athletes, high-achieving professionals looking to maximise their personal life achievements, as well as busy people looking at getting into the world of swim, bike and run. This is being achieved through podcast and community event appearances, as well as via social media accounts, showing the challenges and growth that come with being as a professional athlete. Meg is bringing her community into her journey by launching a Zoot Sports collection that will help support her ambitions.
