Frank Gagliano

Francis Xavier Gagliano (born March 20, 1937), often referred to as Gags, is a longtime professional track and field coach.

Following college he played professionally in the Canadian Football League for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and London Lords.

In 1993, while still coaching at Georgetown University, Gagliano founded the professional running team, the Reebok Enclave.

Gagliano obtained seed money from two of his former athletes, New Jersey businessmen Frank Argano and Andy Muldoon to hire two-time Olympian Matt Centrowitz as a coach.

[4] The group has largely been credited with beginning the re-popularization of professional distance running teams in the United States.

Other notable athletes were Michael Stember, Jason Lunn, Matt Lane, and Bolota Asmerom.

The group would also send Nick Symmonds and Christian Smith to Beijing to compete in the 800m, as well as Erin Donohue in the 1500m.

Following the 2016 Olympic Trials, the club moved from New Jersey to Westchester, NY, and signed a sponsorship agreement with Hoka One One.

[5][6] In 2018, the club set a World Indoor Record for 4 × 800 m at Boston University with a time of 7:11.30 with a team composed of Joe McAsey, Kyle Merber, Chris Giesting and Jesse Garn.
