Avery Martin relocated to Greenville in March 2019 from Winston-Salem, NC with a dream of running under four minutes for the mile. He had been the 2016 Southern Conference champion at 800 meters and earned two All SoCon honors in cross country. After a slow beginning, he rounded into racing shape and recorded a personal best of 4:04.42 in the Atlanta Track Club's Wingfoot Mile. He also ran 3:45.91 for 1500 meters at the Music City Distance Carnival in Nashville, TN. That was his second best 1500 as a post-collegian just off his personal best of 3:45.4. He also showed some range with a 24:29 clocking over 8K at Richmond in November 2019. Avery, who resides with his wife Caroline in Greenville, left the program in January 2020. ​
