Biography
Chot’s journey to becoming a three-time Nebraska high school cross country state champ is an incredible story.
He was born in a refugee camp in Ethiopia and both of his parents died before he was three. He arrived in America at the age of 10 years old and two years later became a naturalized citizen. Chot is only the sixth Nebraskan to capture three straight boys’ cross country state titles. He was undefeated during the 2020 season and won 20 of 23 races since his sophomore year.
This past season he set three course records. In the past three seasons, Chot never finished lower than third in his meets.
Young is the first Nebraska runner to win the NHSCA Senior Boys’ Cross Country Runner of the Year Award.
