Greenville Track Club-ELITE Welcomes Davonte Jett-Reynolds to the Post-collegiate, Olympic-development Program

Greenville Track Club-ELITE is excited to announce that Davonte Jett-Reynolds will be joining the post-collegiate, Olympic-development program. The Adams State University graduate has personal bests of 3:47.95 (1500m), 4:01.67 (mile), 8:02.7 (3000m) and 13:59.44 (5000m). Davonte graduated from high school in Page, Arizona before attending junior college at Central Arizona Central College and then matriculating at Adams State University in Alamosa, CO. 

​"We are excited to have Davonte join our program as he continues to pursue his running goals," stated the program's director/coach, Mike Caldwell. "Looking ahead, we believe he has much room to develop and grow at both the 1500-meter and 5,000m distances and those in between. He is coming from one of the NCAA Division II traditional powerhouse programs. And, he will definitely experience quite a change in training elevation as Alamosa is 7545 feet above sea level and Greenville is approximately 1,000 feet in elevation. Hopefully, all of that additional oxygen will be a treat for him."
