🥇NATIONAL CHAMPION🥇
What a way to close out an incredible high school career.

Recently graduated senior, Colton Rearick capped off his final season in unforgettable fashion, winning the National Mile Championship at the outdoor Adidas Track Nationals last week. In a race filled with some of the nation’s top talent, Colton delivered a gutsy final lap, surging to the front when it mattered most to bring home the national title.

Colton’s determination, work ethic, and competitive spirit have been on display throughout his career, and this championship performance is a fitting end to his time wearing Mars colors.

This fall, Colton will continue his academic and athletic career as a member of the East Stroudsburg Track & Cross Country program, where he will continue competing at the elite level.

Congratulations, Colton, on becoming a National Champion and representing Mars on the biggest stage. We can’t wait to see what comes next.

What a finish. 🔥

Senior Colton Rearick punched his ticket to the PIAA State Championships in Shippensburg with an incredible performance at yesterday’s WPIAL Championships, finishing 4th against one of the toughest fields in the state. His final lap showed exactly what championship racing is all about — determination, grit, and heart.

That closing kick not only earned him a spot on the podium, but the opportunity to compete with the very best high school runners in Pennsylvania next week. Let’s Go Colton!
