 Austin Steagall & Kimberly Ruck ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE athletes lead the South Carolina Road Race Rankings that were released today. The rankings include performances through October 7, 2017.
Austin Steagall continues to be ranked first among overall men. His former teammate Ryan Root, who recently moved to Tulsa, OK in August, is still ranked second. Former ASICS GTC-ELITE runners Adam Freudenthal and Ricky Flynn Mark Leininger are now ranked third, fourth and eighth, respectively. Leininger moved back to New Jersey in July after two successful years in the Greenville post-collegiate, Olympic development program. The team's Frank DeVar made his first appearance in the state road race rankings, in 10th position. The overall women's rankings are headed by ASICS GTC-ELITE teammates Kimberly Ruck and Alison Parris. For a runner to be included in the rankings they must have run at least two SC races on certified courses in the past year with one being the last six months. Times are used to judge performances with course difficulty taken into consideration. Head to head match ups are also considered. The most emphasis is placed on races in the past six months.

Kimberly Ruck ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE's Kimberly Ruck returned to Boston for her fourth appearance in the Tuft's Health Plan Women's 10K on Monday. With less than optimal conditions, she toed the line in the 41st edition of one of the nation's largest women's 10K road races. The atypical October weather brought a temperature of 74 degrees and 92% humidity for the noon time start near the Boston Commons. Despite the conditions, which resulted in the slowest winning time in years, Ruck ran 36:04 to place 11th overall and as the tenth American. Although the time was far off what her fitness warranted, the 11th place was her best finish in this event.
