Gabriel Wilson

Service Description

Gabriel is a T20 classified para athlete who competes in 100m and 200m sprint events. He was born with genetic microcephaly, resulting in intellectual disability, but always enjoyed running fast and was identified as talented sprinter by Shane Danaher, who has become his coach and mentor.  He began athletics as a 14 year old, mainly to meet other kids with disabilities who were also interested in running. Gabe was initially reluctant to get involved, however early success as a sprinter, winning numerous medals in State Championships and All Schools championships sparked his enthusiasm. Competing at the Australian Track & Field Championships in 2021, he qualified for the finals in both 100m & 200m  events, running  a PB in the latter. Travelling interstate has been an exciting highlight. He also enjoys the social aspect of competing for the Adelaide Harriers. Please contact us if you have a keen para athlete who would like to join our club and feel the enjoyment of athletics!
