The Sprinter Who Wasn’t Meant to Run

Dec 9, 2024 | Edition #60

👋 Hey, Speedsters!

If age is the measure of greatness, Gabby Thomas just leveled up! The Atlanta girl turned 28 on December 7—and in showstopper style, rocking a glittery ensemble while taking home the prestigious Jackie Joyner Kersee Athlete of the Year award in one hand. After talking about Tara and Hunter Woodhall’s power couple goals last time, it’s only fair we spotlight Gabby’s solo glow-up—talk about a bombastic celebration, right?

2024's seen some of Gabby’s boss moves. A triple golden crown, followed by headlining an entirely new track meet, are no little feats. But since it’s her special day, we’re diving into the lesser-known trivia about her that you'd love to read as track fans. From her side hustle to the furry four-legged motivator that keeps her going, we’ve got the inside scoop! 

Let’s dive in!
