Starting this year, MileSplit NY's own Carson Gambaro will be talking with top individuals across the State. A running enthusiast himself, and former New York athlete, Carson brings his own unique perspective to High School running in the Empire State. Stay tuned for more episodes in our new series, the Next Man Up Podcast.
About Brenton Baker
One of New York's breakout athletes of 2023, Baker has a long history of distance running on the AAU Youth scene. However, after a minor injury in football pushed him towards Indoor Track, and a jumps Coach who holds the Sophomore State Record himself, Baker found himself winning the State Title in the High Jump in his first Season contesting the event.
About Carson Gambaro (in his own words)
Born and raised in Upstate NY, I have always been a pretty big fan of sports. I've also always been fond of running. Whether it was chasing my two Doberman Pinschers around the yard or playing manhunt with my friends late at night, the very idea of being fast seemed to awaken a competitive nature within me. I didn't fully relish this concept during my high school years, but ever since I've developed into the track & field nerd I was destined to be. In a nutshell, T&F has taught me invaluable life lessons and inspired me to want to cover it. In May 2022, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Science in Broadcasting. Over the course of my career I hope to blend my journalism background with my undying passion for the sport and ultimately become a pro commentator. Above all, I hope to constantly learn along the way. When I'm not working for MileSplit, you can find me on the mic at my alma mater (Stillwater High School) during home outdoor meets, or playing trumpet with local cover group Ten Most Wanted.
