Gabe Montague of Massachusetts, a musical prodigy who ran 100 miles a week last summer and occasionally stopped to play the piano en route, is training for the biggest race of his career—the upcoming New Balance Grand Prix junior boys mile on Feb. 8 in Boston. Montague, an 18-year-old senior at Newton North High in the Boston area, will compete on the nearby Reggie Lewis track in an event that he is still learning. When Montague ran a nation-leading 4:15.82 on Dec. 28, it was only the third competitive mile of his life.
