Jasmine Moore And Tre'Bien Gilbert Selected As Gatorade AOYs

Jun 22, 2018

Gilbert, a recent graduate of Converse Judson had a comeback season.

Injury ended his junior season and he had to watch his team run, jump, and throw their way to the 2017 UIL 6A state meet. This season, with health on his side, he was able to rack up accomplishment after accomplishment and one fast time after another.

Texas Relays was perhaps the meet that indicated Gilbert was a ready for the championship season. He place first in the 300H (36.87) and second in the 110H (13.91). From there, he continued to compete well through district, regionals, and area heading into the state meet. In Austin, he won both hurdle events at the UIL 6A state meet with his 13.53 and 36.18 efforts ranking him #2 in the 110s and #3 in the 300s nationally, then he ran anchor on the 4x400 relay.

Converse Judson head coach, Joel Call told Gatorade ,"The heartache and disappointment Tre'Bien experienced last year when he was injured fueled him for greatness this year, He's different now because he had what he loved-track-taken away from him, and it made him a stronger, more resilient person in times of trial."

His comeback performances were also big in assisting his Judson team to a second place team finish at state.
