Idabel’s Caden Gammon – Cross Country Spotlight – Presented by Pine Cellular

For Caden Gammon, cross country isn’t just about running; it’s about reaching his personal best. “A typical week of training for us is two days a week we have sprints, which helps us with our stamina, and the other three days, we try to get as many miles in as possible,” he shared. As a senior at Idabel High School, Caden’s commitment to training and preparation has helped him emerge as a leader on his team. “I would probably have to say my specific role on the team is to be a leader and help push everyone else to get to the next step to go to state.”  

Caden first joined track because he was eager to try something new and different. “I grew up here in Idabel. I first got interested in track because I wanted to try something new, and I thought it would be really neat,” he says. He soon discovered a natural affinity for the sport, and now cross country plays a significant role in his life. His teammates have been a constant source of motivation: “Some of my biggest influences have to be my teammates. They push me every day to be better, which gives me the positivity I need to be a good teammate and a good leader.”  

This season, Caden’s goal is straightforward: “My hopes and goals for the season is to finish out strong and go to state to be state champions.” Though he acknowledges that challenges are a part of the journey, he is driven to overcome them. “Something challenging is pushing myself harder and harder every day to be a better person and to be in the best shape I can be. To overcome this, it takes time and effort to be the best I can be.”  

Caden’s dedication extends beyond the track. His coach, who’s supported him since middle school, has played a big role in his growth. “I don’t think I could’ve done it without him,” he shares gratefully. Looking ahead, he envisions “hopefully getting a full ride in track for college.” But for now, he’s focused on finishing strong and making his community proud by pushing his team to greatness.
