Breckenridge senior Gabrielle Baumgardner has decided to bring her running talents to Concordia College in Moorhead next fall. Gabby ran cross country her sophomore and senior year for Breckenridge-Wahpeton.  She played volleyball her freshman, sophomore, and junior years.  

“I’m certainly happy Gabby chose to focus solely on cross country runner her senior year.  She is a good athlete and has a natural knack for running.  I think she is just tapping into her potential as a distance runner,” commented Coach Larry Lasch.  

Gabby was the number one or two runner for the BW cross country team this past season and led the team at the section 6A race with a 27th place finish. 

Concordia College is member of the MIAC Conference and is classified as a NCAA Division III School.   The Cross Country team is coached by Laura Januszewski and the Track & Field team is coached by Marv Roeske.  In 2019 Concordia cross country team finished in the top 5 in the MIAC conference championship meet for the first time since 2000. Adding Gabby to the roster they look to build on that finish next year.  Gabby plans to pursue a degree in nursing.
