ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE is proud to announce the addition of Tyler Morse to the post-collegiate, Olympic development program. Morse recently graduated with a degree in Business Administration from Illinois State University, in Normal, IL. The Illinois native brings personal bests of 14:15.8 for 5,000 and 30:13.4 for 10,000 meters. He also has a best of 8:20.5 for 3,000 meters indoors. 

"We are excited to have Tyler join our group and relocate to Greenville," stated director/coach Mike Caldwell. "He really enjoyed his visit to our beautiful city and seems like a great fit with our current group of athletes. We think he has potential in the 5,000, 10,000 and the 3000 meter Steeplechase. He just ventured into the steeple event this year and should benefit from training with Austin Steagall." Steagall was the NCAA DII runner-up in the steeplechase in 2016.

ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE's Ryan Root placed 19th in the USATF 25K National Championships on Saturday morning. The championships are conducted in conjunction with the Fifth Third River Bank Run in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Root, a former North Central College runner, finished with a time of 1:23:08 (5:21 per mile) over the 15.53-mile distance. Starting conservatively in a star-studded field that included defending champion Christo Landry and 2017 winner Dathan Ritzenhein, Root suffered from abdominal cramping from 7-12 miles. He was able to run through the discomfort and passed the half-marathon split in 1:10:17. 

Ritzenhein, who moved back home to Michigan from Oregon a few years ago, bested Landry for the win with a time of 1:14:27. Landry, who lives and trains in Charlotte, ran 1:14:51.

New Partnership with Cocoa Elite

ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE is proud to announce a new partnership with Cocoa Elite. The company produces recovery and cardiovascular enhancing products based on cocoa and the flavanol ingredient. Cocoa has captivated mankind and science with its exotic and complex properties. According to the company's research, "The daily use of flavanols found in cocoa have shown to have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system and blood circulation.**"

This is mainly attributed to the flavanols found in the cocoa bean. Flavanols are what provides cocoa with its distinctive healthy characteristics. In recent years, flavanols have been widely studied for their impact on health. Their current research is also finding that the cocoa flavanols might even be contributing to athletic performance by increasing endurance and improvements in recovery.

"Our post-collegiate, Olympic development athletes' training programs require recovery to allow the adaptation required to improve their performances," explained director Mike Caldwell. "For years we have used chocolate milk and other drinks to enhance the recovery process. Recently some of our athletes experimented with Cocoa Elite and were impressed. We are definitely excited to become a partner with them as they continue to grow their young brand."

PictureSteagall and Ruck
ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE athletes Kimberly Ruck and Austin Steagall traveled to Jersey City, NJ to compete in the 14th annual RIKER DANZIG NEWPORT 10,000 on Saturday morning. Both athletes had been winners in their last competitions on April 22 as they won the 40th TD Bank Reedy River Run 10K in their hometown of Greenville, SC.

In Newport, Ruck managed a ninth place finish among the women with a time of 35:59 while Steagall placed tenth overall (8th American) with a time of 31:12.
