Abigail Carpenter '25 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Abigail Carpenter and I currently run XC and Track for Gulf Coast High School. I started track and field in middle school. I was a sprinter and a thrower but I wouldn't usually compete in sprints. I've tried out almost every sport you could think of but never really found a passion for any. Until I started running again my sophomore year of high school. I found that my love for running was there I just needed to figure out what I truly wanted to do within the running world. I started out with the 800 my sophomore year but I felt I could do more. So, my junior year I decided to try out cross country and I fell in love with it. The training, the races, the environment was everything I ever wanted when it comes to running. I'm excited to see what I am capable of doing within the next year and where I could go within the world of running.
