CHAMPIONS

The 2022 Christ School cross country season was a strong success. The team opened the season finishing second out of 50 schools at the Eye-Opener Invitational in Spartanburg, SC. This meet was followed by a strong performance at the ultra-competitive Adidas Invitational, where the boys finished sixth overall, just 15 points from third place.

The squad was led by the 2022 North Carolina Gatorade Track Athlete of the Year, Rocky Hansen ’23. Rocky set four course records this fall, two meet records, and his 14:20.90 run at the Alexander/Asics Invitational in Georgia is the all-time, allclassifications record for North Carolina boys runners.

Dawson Reeves ’24, Kahzi Sealey ’23, Eyob Gill ’24, and Dallas Reeves ’27 had strong seasons as well.

The Greenies successfully defended their NCISAA 4-A state championship on Oct. 28 at Hagan-Stone Park in Greensboro, NC, with a dominant performance.

Rocky repeated as the individual winner as well, with his fifth individual state title in NCISAA track and cross country. Dawson came in second place, while Eyob and Kahzi finished seventh and ninth, respectively, setting strong personal records and make the all-state team.

Luke Parrish ’24, Will Peeler ’23, and Dallas also set personal records to bolster the strong team win. n
