"The Emerging Elites program has helped me a lot in school. It has taught me that I need to work just as hard at running as I do in school. It gives me not only a reason to push to do my running, but the program has also taught me to push in school."
-Emerging Elites & NCAA Division I athlete
Emerging Elites is a sanctioned and registered USA Track & Field club.
