Stephanie Pezzullo of ZAP Fitness
Though some of the other post-collegiate training groups have gotten more attention in the past year, ZAP Fitness is a little program on its way up. They recently signed a sponsorship deal with a major shoe company (I have not seen an official announcement of this, but the company's logo now appears on ZAP's web site), and they are featured in this month's Delta-Sky Magazine. A recent article (free registration required) implied that Caroline Cretti, who won the 5,000m and 10,000m titles at the NCAA Division III Track & Field Championships at the end of May, will join ZAP's team. (So will two other yet-to-be-announced athletes.) This article implies that Amy Hastings will intern at ZAP Fitness this summer. Last summer's ZAP intern, Katie Gwyther, had a breakthrough year in 2005-2006, earning All-American honors and qualifying for three NCAA championship meets after never having qualified before.
