Tyler VanHuyse

Tyler is a 26-year-old Senior Legislative Analyst for the Senate Fiscal Agency. Originally an Armada, MI native, he now lives in Lansing. Tyler's athletic career has spanned multiple sports; he played hockey for 14 years, as well as golf and tennis intermittently, and then transitioned into ultimate frisbee for the club team at Michigan State University during his undergraduate tenure. Between his junior and senior years at MSU, Tyler was preparing for a marathon when a good friend challenged him to train for a triathlon. Endurance training had always been of interest to Tyler as a hobby so this new challenge fit well. He competed in that first triathlon, placing third in his age group, and immediately sensed that this sport could be a long-term endeavor. Tyler continues to play numerous sports recreationally but now focuses his training on triathlon. Beyond his passion for physical fitness, Tyler enjoys playing the piano, reading, and exploring the great outdoors.

2023 GOALS

My principal objective for this year is to build a large aerobic base and feel fully prepared for Ironman 70.3 Muncie in September.  I continue to hope to learn as much as possible from my teammates and the triathlon community, while also giving back where I can.
