The Physical Performance Center at Gaston Rehab Associates, The Gaston Gazette, Trophy House Treasures, and the Fitness and Nutrition Council of Gaston County would like to congratulate Michael Rogers, Ashbrook HS Cross Country, for being named the Gaston County Athlete of the Week for October 20th, 2009.
Michael is a senior at Ashbrook and is a three time all conference and two time all county runner. This season alone, Michael won the Appalachian Clash, placed third at the Gaston County Championships, 16th at Western North Carolina Carnival and 26th at the Wendy's invitational. Michael has a 5K PR of 17:15.
According to coach Al Hess:
"He [Michael] is the hardest working, most dedicated runner I've had since Garrett Davis (in the late 1980's). He ran over 500 miles this summer to get ready for the season. He wants it so bad. He's gone above and beyond his talent because of his hard work."
Congratulations again, Michael and keep up the great work!
