John Teeter reaches a Triad finish line
A leader of one of the Triad’s popular brewery running groups is running toward a new destination.
John Teeter, who will move to Charlotte to be a financial adviser with Truist, will be honored at Tuesday night's Oden Brewing Run Club gathering, starting at 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome to visit, run and hoist one.
"A year-and-a-half ago, we were all laid-up and locked down from the pandemic," Teeter wrote in a Facebook event post, "so I started this run club to bring local people together at a cool new brewery.
"In what feels like the blink of an eye, I'll be moving to Charlotte, and, unfortunately, moving on from hosting run club. The Club WILL continue in my absence, but I want to make my last time something to remember!"
I saw Teeter race as an East Forsyth High School student a few times, and he went on to run at UNC-Wilmington and UNCG, where he also started a running club. I’ve also gotten to know him just a bit in visiting Oden group runs, and he was featured on this site just recently in a Runners profile.
We will miss him here, but we wish you the best, John!
Matt Clancy joins Greensboro College triathlon staff
Greensboro's Matt Clancy, owner and director of endurance performance at E3 Endurance, will be an assistant coach for Greensboro College's new women's triathlon program. He joins the staff of head coach Karen Buxton.
"I'm thrilled to be able to coach a local program to the highest levels of NCAA triathlon," Clancy said, according to GreensboroCollegeSports.com. "I want to bring a level of expertise, and passion, to Greensboro College that doesn't exist at any other program in the nation."
Buxton added: "His dedication to care for the athletes he coaches, and his depth of experience are the perfect ingredients for us as we build a premier program in the NCAA. I know we will make a great team."
Both Buxton and Clancy are Level III USAT certified coaches, making Greensboro College the only program in the country with two coaches having achieved that designation.
