Northern Arizona Elite was born in January of 2014 with the hopes creating a professional distance running team to rival any in the country. In its first year the team produced a 1:01:47 half marathon (Matt Llano), two sub-15:23 5ks (Kellyn Taylor and Amy Van Alstine), two national titles (Taylor- 25k and Van Alstine- Cross Country) and 11 top-five finishes at USA Championship events. Momentum has continued into 2016 with a national XC title from Craig Lutz and two 6th place finishers at the Olympic Trials marathon by Kellyn Taylor and Matt Llano. 

In February of 2015 HOKA ONE ONE came on board as the group’s title sponsor, changing the team’s official name to HOKA Northern Arizona Elite. Based in beautiful Flagstaff, Ariz. and coached by Ben Rosario, HOKA NAZ Elite now has 12 athletes on its roster. All of those athletes have represented the Unites States in international competition and the next step is the ultimate goal—The Olympic Games!
