Cheserek of St. Benedict (N.J.), who went on to become the most decorated distance runner in NCAA history. He ran at the University of Oregon and won 15 NCAA championships in cross country and indoor and outdoor track."

Not too shabby.

If he has an NCAA career like King Ches-ND is in for a treat

I loved watching King Ches in Eugeme. Congrats to this young man who made a great choice coming to ND. Can't wait to watch him next year.
The NJ high school writers called him the Gift from the Rift

Alluding to the Rift Valley in Kenya, which is where he came from before transferring to St. Benedict's. He was truly a remarkable talent. Must have been fun watching him in Eugene.
