When thinking about running cross country for his senior season at Zion Chapel, Cole Charles admits he thought it might be too hard for him.
Charles, though, did well enough for himself in the sport – in just one season. Over nine meets, he earned a top 12 finish seven times, including a sixth-place finish at the postseason Class 1A-2A, Section 1 meet. He finished runner-up in three races, third once and fourth in another meet.
Charles is the first Zion Chapel athlete to sign a scholarship in cross country, a sport the school has had for only six years. Charles had run routinely around the neighborhood on mile or two-mile jogs with his dad, but did not have any training or any intense competition in the sport. He initially thought it might be a little too much for him, but after getting into it, he realized he enjoyed the sport.
“That Grady meet is really tough,” Christian said. “The course is one of the harder ones in this area, especially that hill because we don’t have a lot of hills around here. The push up to not fall back and the grind that he had that day speaks well of him. Charles’ times began to plummet. He went from the 21:25.50 time in the season opener to a season-best 19:08.63 toward the end of the season.
“As much as he has decreased his time already, I don’t think there will be any problems getting that ,” Jinright said. “He will be a great runner for ESCC.”
