Elite athletes from ZAP Fitness, a USATF Elite Development Club based in Blowing Rock, N.C., concluded their 2006 racing season with several personal bests, club records and quality international racing.

ZAP Fitness Athletes who saw action at the AT&T USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Indianapolis included 5,000 meter competitors Kyle King and Thomas Morgan, who finished ninth and 15th respectively.
