782. Gabbi Jennings, Team Boss Steeplechaser

782. Gabbi Jennings, Team Boss Steeplechaser

"I would just look at the clock and accept, like, 'OK, we're running really really fast. And this is gonna be the hardest thing you've ever done. But if you can hold on, you're in for a treat.'"

In her first few years as a professional athlete, Gabbi Jennings has quickly earned and solidified her spot as one to watch in the 3000m Steeplechase. Last summer, she finished fourth in the steeple at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials — a tough spot to finish, but one that came with plenty of worthwhile and hard-earned lessons. In this conversation, the adidas-sponsored member of Team Boss talks about what she gained from that day in Eugene, and about how it inspired her goals for 2025. Last weekend, Gabbi raced the mile at the BU Terrier Classic in Boston. She finished second (behind winner Elise Cranny) in a personal best 4:25.32. Now, she's headed to New York City, where Gabbi will race the 3K at the Millrose Games.
