We’re back with another Prep Rally Athlete Podcast, and this time we’re sitting down with Providence Academy standout Gabbie Bishop, a rising star who’s headed to run at the University of Arkansas

Gabbie shares her journey from a small-school runner to becoming a nationally competitive athlete, including the moment she realized she could compete at an elite level. From breaking the 5-minute mile barrier in a huge way to committing to one of the top track and cross-country programs in the country.

Plus, stick around for some fun hot takes where Gabby weighs in on:
Carbon-plated “cheater” shoes
Marathon vs. 5K debates
Running in the rain, wind, and wild race conditions
Cross-country chaos (yes… even getting tripped )
And whether yelling “Run, Forrest, Run!” should be allowed
