We know he trained really hard to gain a place in the U.S. athletes team fro this years Olympic Games, but no mater how hard we looked, we could not find his name anywhere on the participants list. And that is a loss for the USA and for the Games. Steven Benedict is a dedicated athlete in many realms of sport, ranging from ten years of martial arts, football soccer and he has cultivated his energy and talents into a top national runner and international track and field sprinter.
Steven Benedict competes in USA’s most prestigious such as Penn Relays, NYC Reebok Classic and – as said before – the Olympic Trials, but he is not only a presence on the track. Recently Steven was featured in Men’s Exercise, for which he wrote and shot a six page spread. He also appeared in Espn Magazine, reoccurs in the daytime soap opera All My Children and numerous other shows and commercials. Steven Benedict is a driven man, who is not afraid of hard work.
Steven, who is also a graduated graphic designer, found his inner strength truly tested when being faced with a personal drama during the years 2004 and 2005. This experienced made him try harder, go full ahead and never look back. Even though he did not make the Olympic team, Steven Benedict most certainly is a man who doesn’t give up and with a big heart, and already for that only he should have gold. –B-
