TRIALS PROLOGUE: Rider alum Teagan Schein-Becker added to Brooks Beasts roster...
She'll be in the same heat as fellow Beast Valery Tobias.
Teagan finished her collegiate career at Rider University holding multiple school records and top finishes in the 800m, 1500m and mile, where she won an Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) indoor and outdoor championships for the 2022-23 season.
Schein-Becker qualified for her first NCAA outdoor championship meet last month, and finished eleventh in the 1500 finals two weeks ago at Hayward Field.
“I’m thrilled to embark on this new journey with the incredible Brooks Beasts Track Club. I’m ready to chase greatness, fueled by a team that champions the dream. I am looking forward to continuing my journey and starting this next chapter,” said the newest Beast in a statement from the company
"Teagan is a rising star whose track record of improvement and strong racing makes for an exciting addition to our women's roster,” said Derek Lactaoen, Brooks Beasts Marketing Manager. “She’s a great teammate who can make a big impact with the Beasts and contribute to our growth. We couldn’t be happier to have her first race in the Beasts kit be at the Olympic Trials."
