TeamROGUE Elite, sponsored by Under Armour, is now accepting applications for positions on its elite team. We currently are recruiting a few men & women for our already solid roster. Our primariy focus is on the middle distance area (800m-3000m/steeple) as we feel this segment of the distance population has fewer opportunities to defray the costs of being a professional athlete. However, all interested athletes who have met these standards are encouraged to turn in an application for our consideration. All applicants to should send a running resume to Head Coach, Steve Sisson at sisson@roguerunning.com. This application should include pertinent races, marks & competitive experience. Also include a short personal statement indicating why TeamROGUE Elite & Under Armour should consider you for their team. Please do not repeatedly contact our head coach. All applicants will receive an email indicating that their application was received & will be considered based on its merits. Everyone who turns in an application will receive an email within two weeks to let them know if they will be interviewed for further consideration. Please do not waste our time with false marks. Only serious applicants need apply.
