Abigail "Abby" Garrett and William "Will" Freeman are a team of Childhood Sweethearts on The Amazing Race 34.

Long-time fans of the show, Abby & Will generally preferred to run the Race on their own, regularly placing in the middle of the pack. However, their race came to an abrupt end when Will tested positive for COVID-19, which resulted in them being medically removed from the Race in 8th place.

Abby Garrett and Will Freeman, childhood sweethearts from Birmingham, Alabama.

Abby, 24, is a data scientist. Will, 25, is an accountant. The couple has been dating for eight years, but have known each other since they were kids. They hope that familiarity will lead to a successful dynamic on the race. They both grew up watching The Amazing Race, consistently game planning how they would do on the race. And we'll see how that preparation translates from the couch to the seat of a taxi!
