Genevieve Printiss, the most decorated runner in Tallahassee Community College's short history on the trails and track, is now a first-year assistant under head coach Gary Droze. 

Printiss, a graduate of Franklin County High School and native of Carrabelle, Fla., ran for the Eagles from 2018-20, quickly emerging as the team's top runner. As a freshman, she was the top two-year runner at the Valdosta State Border Clash and later posted a season-best 21:00.1 in the 5K at the NJCAA Region 8//FCSAA State Championships. She made her NJCAA Championships debut with a 32nd-place finish in the NJCAA Half Marathon. She continued to thrive in the spring on the track, qualifying for the NJCAA Championships in the 1500m. In Hobbs, N.M., she finished 25th in the 1500m at the NJCAA Championships. 

Printiss was the team's top finisher in each cross country event in 2019. At the FSU Invitational, she posted a PR of 20:04.5 to earn NJCAA Women's Runner of the Week honors. Her time of 20:27.0 was good for third place and a spot on the All-Region 8/All-State team at the NJCAA Region 8/FCSAA State Championships. She placed 67th at the NJCAA Championships, running the second-fastest time among Region 8 participants. 

Although a pandemic cut her sophomore season short on the track, Printiss still racked up an impressive list of academic honors in 2020. First, she was a repeat honoree on the NJCAA Cross Country Coaches' Association's Schoar All-America Team. She earned NJCAA All-Academic First-team recognition for a second straight year and was named All-Academic by both the FCSAA and Panhandle Conference for the second straight season. 

Printiss was also named the inaugural recipient of the FCSAA Larry Monts Women's Scholar-Athlete Award for cross country, earned honorable mention recognition for NATYCAA's Scholar-Athlete Team and was selected as TCC Athletics' top female scholar-athlete in 2020. 

Printiss graduated from TCC with a perfect 4.0 GPA and is currently enrolled at the University of Florida.
