User:Pablo Monchaego

Pablo Fitsgerald Monchaego was born on April 24th, 1975 in Modesto, California. Monchaego and his father Juan lived there until Monchaego reached the age of 11 then soon moved in with his stepmother(Claira Filaski)and stepbrother(David Filarski)who lived in Jersey City, New Jersey. Even though life in Jersey City was much different than life in Modesto, Monchaego soon got used to it. Ever since Monchaego was a boy he dreamed of being an Olympic Runner because running was something very close to his heart. Soon after the Monchaegos moved into to their new home in New Jersey, Monchaego and his stepbrother joined the junior high track team. Right away Monchaego noticed he was a better runner/athlete than anybody else there. He was even better than his stepbrother David even though he had been 3 years older than Monchaego. Ever since then, Monchaego has continued to run and has never gone half of a day without training or running. He currently lives in North Bergan, New Jersey.

Today, Monchaego is one of the world's best Olympian Runners in the world. He runs 800 meter races, also known as the half mile, in under two minutes.(his best time being 1:49)He has been running in the Olympics for 12 years and has won 3 gold medals and 1 silver medal and hopes to recieve more in the time he has left before he retires after the 2016 Olympic Games. Monchaego followed his dreams and never gave up even when times were hard. Look at where it has gotten him. Monchaego says he truly appriciates all of the support from his fans, friends, and family and cant wait until he gets another chance to shine in the upcoming 2012 summer Olympic Games held in London, England.
