Welcome Coach Elena Alves - Apprentice Coach

Elena is a New Jersey native who moved to Pittsburgh after falling in love with the city’s culture and energy. She is a trail running enthusiast and avid long-distance hiker—she’s completed multiple ultramarathons and thru-hiked both the Appalachian Trail and the Colorado Trail.

Strength training has been a cornerstone of her athletic journey, helping her recover from an ACL reconstruction and a hip labrum repair. She believes being strong is essential for resilience, staying injury-free, and performing at her best in the sports she loves.

Elena is excited to share what she’s learned, help athletes reach their own goals, and guide them toward building confidence to tackle big, scary challenges—both in the gym and beyond.

🎊Welcome Coach Micah Wilkerson

Assistant Coach - Trackside

Micah is a native of Pittsburgh who has been involved in track and field for over 20 years. Raised on the east side of the city, he began running at the age of five and continued competing through the early years of college before stepping away from the sport. Although he left competition, his passion for track and field never diminished; instead, it evolved into an early transition into advising and coaching following college.

For the past nine years, Micah has worked in the field of education with Pittsburgh Public Schools. During this time, he built strong relationships with student-athletes and witnessed firsthand the profound impact a dedicated coach can have on a person’s development. This experience reignited his commitment to serving others and led him back to track and field.

Since returning to the sport, Micah has coached athletes of all ages and has remained actively involved ever since. As an assistant coach, he is committed to helping athletes push beyond their limits and reach their full potential—both on and off the track.
