Ethan Anderson Rhodig tragically left this world on June 14, 2020, while bike training in preparation for the Cornhusker State Games triathlon. He was an avid cyclist, runner, swimmer, and all-around fitness fanatic. In his 20 short years on earth, he accomplished more than most. Attending High School in East Lyme, CT, Ethan was captain of both the ELHS Crew and Fencing Teams. He was an inspiring leader and role model, making indelible marks as both a champion Foil Fencer and Crew Rower. He also was a masterful slalom water skier and snow skier.

Ethan was not only an accomplished athlete. He was a gifted musician, mastering acoustic and electric guitar and drums by middle school. Ethan was competitive in all aspects of his life, never settling or satisfied with anything less than the best.

In 2019, Ethan began competing in sprint triathlons under the support and tutelage of his cousin Chad Anderson. Ethan’s incredible work ethic and determination, coupled with his innate talent and drive, destined him for tremendous success. To honor Ethan’s memory, his family is extremely proud to establish and sponsor the Ethan A. Rhodig Memorial Triathlon in June 2021. We welcome you to join us in recognizing and celebrating Ethan Anderson Rhodig at what promises to be an incredibly special and competitive triathlon.
