Ian Clutten

Ian Clutten is the 39-year-old Vice President of Granger Construction Company in Lansing, MI. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, Ian grew up doing a variety of sports. He developed a passion for swimming and earned a scholarship to join the Michigan State University varsity swim team. While on the team, he held the 100 and 200 yard breast stroke school records, as well as other medley relay events. After college, Ian married his wife Stefanie (also on the team) and now they have a son and daughter and have settled in Holt, MI.  Over the last decade Ian has done a variety of sprint triathlons, but always had more of a focus on trail running and open water swimming. In 2019 he took on the Grand Rapids 70.3 distance and enjoyed the challenge. He is looking forward to the challenge of competing in multiple Olympic distance triathlons this season.

2023 GOALS

My main goal is to go 2 minutes faster in the Sprint distance at USAT Age Group National in Milwaukee. The goal would be to qualify for the Worlds team if I place in the top 8 positions in my age group. This is a reach goal, but I am excited to chase it!
