ASICS Greenville Track Club-ELITE's Eddie Garcia returned to his hometown of Jacksonville, FL and placed third in the Ameris Bank Jacksonville Half Marathon. The former University of Florida standout and SEC 10K champion ran 1:07:15 to earn a place on the awards podium. ASICS GTC-ELITE placed three runners among the top eight as Victor Pataky finished seventh with a time of 1:08:35 and Austin Steagall was close behind in eighth at 1:08:58. The race was run in almost 100% humidity with a slight drizzle at the 7:00 am start, after a night of heavy rainfall. The temperature at the start was 63 degrees--somewhat above the average of 56 degrees for the race's history. GTC-ELITE was established in 2012 and produced four qualifiers for the 2016 USA Olympic Trials Marathon in Los Angeles. The post-collegiate, Olympic development program is sponsored by ASICS, the 46-year-old Greenville Track Club, ScanSource, Joy Real Estate, generous individual contributors and partnerships with Performance Therapy, Carolina Spine and Rehab, Boston Bill Sunglasses, Roll Recovery products, FinalSurge (on-line training log), The ATI Running Academy, ElliptiGO, NormaTec Recovery Boots, Cocoa Elite recovery products, Stryd, DorsiFlex and Synergy Performance (mental performance). The club is a proud member of both the Road Runners Club of America and the USATF.
