BALLSTON SPA — Ballston Spa varsity girls track and field standout Gabrielle Bozeth was formally honored at a June 27 Board of Education meeting for what her coach called a “historic,” record-setting season.

At the meeting, Coach Matt Germann highlighted some of Bozeth’s accomplishments:

Times Union’s girls track and field Athlete of the Year

Holds eight school records in outdoor track and field

Made the Suburban Council All-Star list three times this year

Qualified for New Balance Nationals, where she placed 34th in the 200m dash

In Section 2, she’s ranked #1 for the 100m and the 200m

At the New York State championship meet, she won the 200m federation and placed 2nd in the 100m federation

Bozeth was also a member of a relay team that Germann called “the greatest relay team I’ve coached in 20 years.” In indoor events, the team broke more than 23 school records. They also won both the 4×100 and the 4×400 at the William F. Eddy Jr. Meet last month, among many other accomplishments.

Germann also praised Bozeth for her hard work and humility.
