Greenville Track Club-ELITE Adds New Member

10/8/2026

Picture
Greenville Track Club-ELITE is excited to announce the addition of Wondu Summa to the 14-year-old post-collegiate, Olympic-development program. Wondu recently graduated with a Masters degree in Accounting from Tulane University.   

Summa was a multi-time Northeast Conference champion (3000m, 5000m & 10,000m) as an undergraduate at Franklin Pierce University before enrolling at Tulane for graduate school. He focused on the mid-distance events including the 3000m Steeplechase and 5,000m as well as cross country during his collegiate career and will look to extend  his running career with additional focus on the longer distances from 10K to half marathon and eventually the marathon. He will join 2024 Paris Olympian Eduardo Garcia and 2028 USA Olympic Marathon Trials qualifiers Jason Weitzel (2:11:44) , Jack Mastandrea (2:12:19), and Noah Fisher (2:15:17)  in the distance training group, along another recent addition James Sullivan. 

He was a graduate assistant coach for the Green Wave from August 2025 through May 2026 where his responsibilities included: 
Supporting daily operations of a 55-athlete NCAA Division I men’s and women’s track & field program, coordinating scheduling, logistics, and compliance across multiple disciplines (distance, mid-distance, sprints, jumps, throws) while working fluidly with discipline-specific head coaches, assisting with budget tracking - scholarships and athlete retention, travel logistics - pairing athletes to boost performance, and equipment management - organization and operations to ensure efficient use of program resources. He also analyzed performance, training, and nutritional data using running metrics software (Strava, Garmin), dietitian guidance, and blood lab insights to support decision-making and optimize athlete development plans.

​He arrives in Greenville with an undergraduate degree in Accounting and Finance from Franklin Pierce University and a Masters of Accounting degree from Tulane.  

Wondu stated, “I’ve heard so many good things about Greenville, SC! I look forward to living there with the nearby mountains and the abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities. My  primary goal is to  become a top U.S. competitor, which I believe is within reach, especially under Coach Mike Caldwell. I am very excited to begin this new chapter and train with new friends and teammates, including an Olympian!"

GTC-ELITE Athletes Rank 2-6 in October South Carolina Road Race Rankings

Five Greenville Track Club-ELITE athletes remain ranked in the top six of the October South Carolina Road Race Rankings, as published by USATF SC Record Keeper Bill Marable. Jack Mastandrea remains in the second position following his August victory in the Eduardo Michelin Memorial 5K. He is followed by Noah Fisher in third, with teammates Ryan Drew, Jason Weitzel and Eduardo Garcia ranked fourth, fifth and sixth. Former GTC-ELITE athlete Ricky Flynn is seventh. Greenville's James Quattlebaum continued his reign at the top of the standings. 

None of the top six have raced within the state of South Carolina since  August as five of them have competed in international and national events during that time period including Copenhagen, Denmark; New Haven, CT; Northport, NY and Minneapolis, MN. The exception is Drew, who just returned to training following his very successful races at the one-mile distance during the spring and summer. ​
