🚨 NEW COACH ANNOUNCEMENT🚨

Announcing our final coaching hire for Summer 2026! Please join us in welcoming Gabe Chayee to the D1 Tempo Run Club coaching staff ‼️

A graduate of Waukee High School and current division one sprinter at Liberty University, Gabe recently graduated from Iowa Western Community College, where he continued to establish himself as one of Iowa’s top sprint athletes after being a part of the OG D1 Tempo Run Club crew when we first opened for business back in 2023!

Throughout his career, Gabe has been a 7x Iowa State Qualifier, 2x Iowa State Medalist, 3x Drake Relays Qualifier, 3x Drake Relays Finalist, New Balance Nationals Qualifier, and former all-time Iowa state record holder in the 4x100m relay.

Specializing in the 60m and 100m, Gabe owns personal bests of 6.89 in the 60m and 10.63 in the 100m, giving him firsthand experience competing at an elite level against some of the fastest athletes in the country at national-level meets.

Gabe is passionate about helping the next generation of athletes develop sprint mechanics, acceleration, speed development, and race-day confidence. His competitive experience, technical knowledge, and passion for coaching will be a tremendous asset to athletes across all age groups and ability levels!

We are incredibly excited to have Gabe join the Tempo family this summer and can’t wait for our athletes to learn from one of Iowa’s premier sprint talents. DM us to get started today!

🚨 NEW COACH ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

Please join us in welcoming Connor Kunze to the D1 Tempo Run Club coaching staff!

Connor is one of the most accomplished sprinters in Iowa high school history and will continue his athletic career at Iowa State University this fall. In 2025, he captured the Iowa Class 3A State Championship in the 100m and established himself among the state’s all-time sprint greats, holding the Iowa high school state record in the 60m while ranking among the Top 10 performers ever in both the 100m and 200m.

As an elite-level sprinter, Connor brings extensive experience in acceleration, maximum velocity development, sprint mechanics, and explosive athletic performance. His success on the track is backed by years of high-level training, championship competition, and a commitment to mastering the details that create speed.

Beyond his own accomplishments, Connor is passionate about helping the next generation of athletes reach their potential. His goal is to build confidence, improve technique, and help athletes develop the habits and mindset necessary for long-term success both on and off the track.

We are excited for the knowledge, energy, and leadership Connor will bring to Tempo as we continue building Iowa’s premier T&F development program. Welcome to the team, Coach Connor! ⚡️
