ODESSA, Texas — It is with great sadness that Odessa College shares the news of the passing of Gage Broomall, a second-year student-athlete from Hallsville, Texas.

Broomall collapsed at the start of cross-country practice on Thursday afternoon. Despite the immediate and heroic efforts of emergency personnel, he did not survive.

Gage was a valued member of the Odessa College Wrangler family, and his loss is deeply felt by his teammates, coaches, classmates, and all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.

To honor Gage's life and legacy, Odessa College and the Broomall family have established a scholarship in his name. Those wishing to contribute may do so online at: Gage Broomall Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Information regarding memorial arrangements will be announced as it becomes available.
