He was a two-time league and district champion for Port Angeles High School and qualified for the state championships in all four years. In two of those state championships, he finished in the Top 10 (3rd and 10th place). Additionally, he holds three school records in the boys' two mile, three mile, and 5k races.
Gladfelter holds high aspirations entering his freshman year higher education, as he'll be joining the business and marketing programs at Corban with hopes of pursuing a career as a professional runner or working in a professional sports organization.
