BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – News 6 is celebrating a special group of Central Florida athletes all this month. We’re saluting the high school senior springtime athletes who’ve had their final seasons put on hold, but have represented their schools so well for years.
This edition of “Senior Salute” goes out to Astronaut High School track star Gavin O’Brien. He’s a distance runner who has chased down records.
Early this spring, Gavin set Astronaut’s new mark in the 1600m. In the fall, he set the 5K record, competing in cross country.
Gavin has achieved All-Space Coast, All-Conference, and All-Star honors throughout his four years running varsity track and cross country.
