Just a week after competing in the state track and field championships, Washougal High School junior Gabriel Dinnel is busy training for an upcoming trip to Italy to represent the United States. The 17-year-old Panther said he is honored to represent the USA at an international trail running competition in the Sondrio region of Italy near the Swiss border on June 16.

The 4.3 kilometer course consists of two laps on single mountain paths, with steep ascents and fast descents.
