About Us
Our Background
Our team consists of 3 friends who started building Phantom Pacer as an engineering senior capstone assignment. Riley Burns (left), a distance runner, helped sell the idea of building a track pacing system, a system that secretly he hoped to use for himself. Once the project was complete, the team pitched the product at a business pitch competition and secured first place! That night, the team's dream of making Phantom Pacer was born. Immediately after the team walked off the stage, word spread quickly about the product, and the team started to build their company. Today, the team expects to sell/rent 8 systems by 2026 and is well on its way to have Phantom Pacer be a staple at track meets across the U.S.!
