Ricky Flynn was the seventh athlete to join ASICS GTC-ELITE and arrived with outstanding credentials. He was a seven-time NCAA DIII All American at Lynchburg College and also the NCAA DIII National Cross Country Champion. He had also run 2:13:44 in placing 12th at the 2012 USA Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston. A prodigious trainer, Ricky struggled to remain healthy for extended periods of time, but did run three separate qualifying performances over the half marathon distance to qualify for the 2016 USA Olympic Marathon Trials in Los Angeles. Those three performances were extremely consistent and were within a six second range: 1:04:50, 1:04:56 and 1:04:50. He also placed 21st at the USA Club XC National Championships in Bethlehem, PA. Following another injury and one that forced him to miss the Los Angeles Olympic Trials, it was mutually agreed by Ricky and his coaches that he should begin to transition to the Triathlon. Already spending a lot of time in the pool and bike during cross training, it was a natural progression for him. Ricky currently works at Prisma Health in Greenville. ​
