Gio Anello, age 15 of Whitewater High School, has qualified for the National Jr. Olympics in three events by his performances in the recent National Regionals held over the weekend.
Gio placed 2nd in both the 3000 and 800 meter races and won the 1500 meter race in the 15/16 year old category to earn his way to Nationals.
While Gio had earned the right to participate in the 100 meter qualifications by his performance at the District meet the prior week, he chose to focus his efforts on the distance events.
Congratulations, Gio!
