Lea Wallace, Pro Athlete
We are incredibly honored and just a little proud to welcome Lea Wallace to our team. Lea is a Nike-sponsored pro-athlete originally from Napa, where she attended and ran for Vintage High.
Lea is a middle-distance runner who is fairly new to the post collegiate track world. She graduated from Sacramento State in the spring of 2011 and joined coach John Cook's group, the Austin Track Club, in fall 2011. She had a break out senior season at Sacramento, where she earned All-American honors by finishing 6th in the 800 and 9th in the 1500 at the 2011 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Wallace continued her hot streak this year by hitting a huge personal best of 2:01.33 in the 800 at the Victoria International Track Classic
Lea plans on spending time with her family by going back to California this summer, but she has big plans for her running career in the future. A year from now, Wallace sees herself competing at the 2013 National Championships. Her ultimate goal is to secure a spot on the Olympic team in 2016.
Needless to say Lea brings to Athletic Feat a running expertise that is hard to beat... She has a very busy training schedule ahead of her and we look forward to the time she can share with us!
