Gatchell put a dent in a traditionally strong event around the conference during the outdoor season with the second-best time clocked in the 800-meter run.
With the rest of his teammates at the Emory Invitational, Gatchell impressed as he was only 0.32 of a second away from the all-time record set in 2016 by Tim De Jong, also of Cedarville.
Gatchell crossed the line in 1:52.94. A Yellow Jacket has at least a share of all top-10 800m times in conference history (also includes Daniel Michalski, Wyatt Hartman).
