Future Stars Of XC: Florida's Best Dozen Freshmen Boys

4. Joshua Gammage (Dillard)


Gammage might have some of the best pure track speed among the Florida freshman distance runners as an AAU Club champion this past summer at 1500, 3K, and 800 meters. He recently finished as a Broward County Championship runner-up in cross country with a 16:41 5K PR. The freshman at Dillard's best race prior had to be breaking 17 minutes at Holloway Park in the flrunners.com Invitational. He was one of only four freshmen in the meet to break 17 minutes with two of those three ranked ahead of him on this list.

Certainly more upside for Gammage at the 5K distance and do not be surprised for him to chase after sub 2 minutes in the 800 and sub 4:30 for 1600 meters during the track season either.
