NAPOLI, Italy (July 13, 2019) - FIU track and field standout Gabby Rains placed fourth in the discus at the 30th Summer University Games held in Italy, with a near personal best of 55.74m. Rains placed fourth of 11 competitors who reached the finals.
"I know she's really excited about her performance at world University games," said FIU head coach Ryan Heberling. "We talked after her performance and she's very excited about what she can accomplish next year. We're both thinking that 60m plus throw is in there and an Olympic year in 2020 is the perfect end goal.
