Steagall Stumbles in Raleigh Relays

3/31/2018

1 Comment

 
It was a tough trip for ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE's Austin Steagall as he returned to the Raleigh Relays. He and his coach, Mike Caldwell, were involved in a  traffic accident on their way from Greenville, SC to the North Carolina city on Thursday. They were hit from behind by a Dodge truck on I-85 when traffic slowed due to congestion. Although their automobile was heavily damaged both were fortunate not to be harmed.

Then in Friday night's 5,000-meter event, Steagall had his heel clipped from behind and stumbled into the infield before recovering and rejoining the race. However, what appears to be an abdominal strain and a tightened back slowed him considerably over the final 2 kilometers. After passing 3,000 in a respectable 8:30, he slowed to finish in 14:40, which was well off his 13:58 clocking at the same event in 2017. 

"High level track competition is not just about running fast, but also involves staying out of trouble as the runners are running very close together sometimes," stated Caldwell. "Austin has a long back kick and that lends him to be susceptible to getting clipped. Hopefully, we can determine the extent of his injury and resume his training soon."

ASICS GTC-ELITE Welcomes Zach Mains

ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE is proud to announce the addition of Zach Mains to the post-collegiate, Olympic development program based in beautiful Greenville, SC. Mains is relocating from his native state of Pennsylvania to continue his running career and pursue his dreams. 

A 2016 graduate of Lock Haven University, Zach's career interests include actuarial science and insurance. He first matriculated at Millersville College, but transferred to Lock Haven when the cross country program was defunded. He posted times of 8:23 for 3,000 meters, 14:29 for 5,000 meters and 30:37 over the 10,000-meter distance. 


Mains explained his thought process, "I decided to move from central PA down to Greenville and join ASICS GTC-ELITE  because I believe in this program. I feel that with the athletes, coaches and support from everyone surrounding this group, that it will bring out the best in me. I felt that based on the previous training that I have done with the Keystone Track Club and at Lock Haven University, that I would be a great fit within this program. I also believe that with the knowledge that both coaches Mike and Laura bring to the table that they will be great teachers in guiding me to reach my ultimate goal of running in some of the biggest races in cross country and on the track and roads."

"We are excited to welcome Zach into the program," stated director/coach Mike Caldwell. "We believe once he adjusts to our training philosophy, we will see his performances rise to the next level. We believe the 'power is in the group' so adding Zach definitely improves our program."

Mains will be joining NCAA DII All-American Austin Steagall, newly arrived Clemson grad Roland Hakes (twice SC Gatorade Runner of the year in high school) and soon-to-arrive Eduardo Garcia. Garcia was the 2015 SEC champion at 10,000 meters while competing for top NCAA program University of Florida.
