Sintayehu Vissa

"Running at this level changed my life. It taught me resilience, discipline, and gratitude. The harder I work, the luckier I get – both in running and in life."

Sintayehu “Sinta” Vissa’s name means "I have seen many things," and her journey proves it. Born in Ethiopia, raised in Italy, and now chasing her dreams in the US, Sinta was always inspired by Ethiopian Olympic athletes. A connection to her roots that sparked her passion for the run. She discovered her talent in her teens and quickly rose to the top of middle-distance running, breaking national records, claiming NCAA titles, and representing Italy internationally. With her competitive edge and carefree attitude, Sinta fits right in with the OAC, considering them her family.
