Her competitors and coaches share their memories, and how she made a difference in their lives and the lives of those around her.
Adrian Martinez Classic
“I knew that regardless of the race, she was going to compete really well. I knew she was really talented and she cuts through the sh-- right away, and I just love that,” Mackey said. “With Gabe, I just always knew where I stood.”While they didn’t always agree on everything—Grunewald wanted to run the 5K and Mackey wanted her to run the 1500 meters at the 2016 U.S.
While Mackey and Grunewald parted ways after the 2016 season, the experience of coaching Grunewald inspired him greatly. “She was the badass of the running world. You expect her to win. You expect her to overcome anything, both in what she has gone through with cancer and on the track,” Heath said. “I never had to race Gabe, but you didn’t want Gabe in your race because you knew if Gabe was in there, she was going to make it hard as sh--, and she was going to push.
“I think of her face and the big smile that she always had on,” Heath said. “She was full of energy despite being someone who has been battling through this for as long as you can remember. She never showed anything but smiles and perseverance. I think that’s why everyone always expected her to come out on the other side and beat this.”“I knew who she was before I met her. The first time I met her in person was at the meet that USATF hosts at Occidental College in 2011. We all call it Oxy.
