Coach Steve says: “Gabe was showing tremendous competitive potential until an injury sidelined him for most of the season. His performance at the Mike Johnson Classic in his opening 8k debut earned him Athlete of the Week honors. Undeterred he cross trained through his injury and returned to compete at the Championship, placing fourth on the team to pull us within 3 points of the podium. Gabe is a free spirit with a joy for life that is undeniable. As he brings focus and purpose to his ability the sky is the limit. I’m excited for the upcoming track season to see what he is capable of.”
