All about The Amazing Race 2022 participants Will and Abby

Abby Garrett, 24, is a Data Scientist, while Will Freeman, 25, is an accountant from Birmingham, Alabama. They have been best friends since kindergarten, but have been dating for about “eight years” now.

Will and Abby went to the same high school, Mountain Brook School in Birmingham, Alabama, and have been together since then. After finishing high school, Abby went to MIT for higher studies.

Abby and Will are “super fans” of The Amazing Race. The couple has been watching the competition since they started dating a few years back and have been “game planning” every episode.

Participating in the show is a “dream come true” for the couple as they “love” the show very much. Abby was over the moon and very “excited” after getting the call to participate in The Amazing Race. Will says:

“So, Abby actually got the call and I think screamed. I thought something was wrong.”

The couple now hopes their “strategies made on the couch” also work on the streets. Abby and Will even hope that with “support, communication and keeping a level ahead,” they have a chance to win the competition.
