Greenville Track Club-ELITE's Jack Mastandrea continues to be ranked first in the most recent South Carolina Road Race Rankings published by USATF State Record Keeper Bill Marable. His teammate and training partner, Jason Weitzel, remains second in the rankings. The two training partners have frequently exchanged places during 2024 with Weitzel winning the Downtown Greenville 5K in January and Mastandrea placing second. Then Jack placed ahead of Jason at the 2024 USATF Olympic Marathon Trials in Orlando and was 12th (29:03) overall at Charleston's Cooper River Bridge Run, while Jason was 14th (29:24). Jason ran 29:13 and Jack 29:31 for 10,000 meters on the track at the Portland Track Festival in June. Then Jack placed 7th and Jason 9th in the USATF 8K Road Championships at the Crazy 8s road race in Kingsport, TN on July 20.Jack then placed 13th in a deep field at the USATF 20K Championships in the Faxon Law New Haven Road Race on September 2. Jack and Jason most recently competed in the USATF 10K Championships at the Great Cow Harbor 10K in Northport, NY, placing 10th and 12th respectively. However, that race and some of the previous mentioned events were not within the confines of South Carolina and did not factor in the SC Road Race Rankings. Their teammate, Ryan Drew, remains among the top ten rankings, in seventh position. GTC-ELITE alums Ricky Flynn (Greenville) and Roland Hakes ( Columbia) are ranked 3rd and 6th. Greenville runners occupy six of the top ten ranking positions. South Carolina Road Race Rankings |
