Thanks to Notre Dame sophomore, Drew Griffith for speaking with the campers tonight and answering a host of training questions. What a great role model athletically, academically and personally!
Let’s go Irish ☘️!
One of the biggest honors for a high school athlete in Western PA is Post-Gazette Athlete of the Year (Dan Marino was the 1st winner).
This year's winner is one of the best distance runners in U.S. high school history.

🗣️ “My dad always told me, ‘You always have an extra gear, you’ve just never had to use it.’ Right there was a moment where I tried to find that last gear that I’ve never had to use. He really took me to my limits.”
Drew Griffith finally got to use that extra gear! ⚙️ Drew battled Zach Hillhouse to the finish and came out on top in a sub-4 performance of 3:59.00 — just ahead of Zach’s 3:59.62.

I firmly believe you can make a compelling case that Drew Griffith has had the most outstanding all-around XC, indoor, and outdoor season for a high school runner. His exceptional performance is truly awe-inspiring and sets a high standard for others to follow!
