Gareth Gilna, a senior at Los Alamos High, was the state Class 4A champion in the 800 meters (1:56.13), the 1,600 (4:12.60, a meet record) and the 3,200 (9:27.35). In becoming the second 4A male athlete to sweep the distance events at the state meet, he helped the Hilltoppers finish second in the team competition. Gareth, himself, finished 2nd at the 2008 New Mexico State Cross Country Meet.
Gareth calls himself a "strength runner" and believes this is due to his hometown in New Mexico, which is located largely on hilly landscape. Gareth finished second at the 2008 New Mexico State Cross Country Meet. He hopes to continue on to nationals, but says his priority will always be getting a state championship.
