Garth shattered his left ankle during one of his track meets and after several surgeries, began to feel the after effects of the scar tissue setting up around his ankle. To say the least his training, not to mention just his day to day duties of walking was drastically effected. Through the therapy that was preformed, Garth is now not only competing again, but going for what he hopes to be his best year ever. By the way, he cleared 17' 10" several weeks ago.
