About Erin
After winning the Oregon state cross country meet as a sophomore, Gray went on to run cross country and track at the University of Arkansas. After struggling with multiple stress fractures in college, her father convinced her to try racewalking after graduation. Gray quickly excelled in the race walk and made her first international team, the Pan American Race Walking Cup in 2011. Gray is currently in medical school at the College of Osteophatic Medicine of the Pacific-Northwest. Gray had open heart surgery at the age of 12 and has wanted to be a doctor ever since.
