Cinnaminson’s Austin Gabay ran a big indoor 800 PR this weekend in Indianapolis. Gabay, a Butler senior, ran 1:50.62 at the Fairgrounds Invitational at Fall Creek Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
Gabay hasn’t run many 800s, but his previous indoor PR was 1:52.11 from last January at the same meet. He has a 1:50.41 outdoors from this past April in Allendale, Mich.
Gabay’s time is 7th-fastest in the Big East Conference so far this season.
Gabay PR’d with a 3:59.19 mile a year ago this month in Boston, and he’s now PR’d in the 800 and 3,000 this winter. He ran 7:56.98 in Boston in December.
Gabay is running a mile in Boston this weekend at the David Hemery Valentine Invitational at Boston University.
