CUSTER COUNTY, Colorado
On Thursday, April 17, 2021, Micah Zeller signed a cross-country and track scholarship deal with Adams State University where he will be attending and running for NCAA Division II Adams State University in the fall. Family, friends, teammates and Coach Hal Walter attended the ceremony.
Micah is one of best high-school runners in Colorado. Coach Hal wrote;
“ Even as a youngster I could recognize Micah’s tenacity. There were times at practice in those early years when we would “race” for a short distance and any time I stepped up the pace, he would respond by going even faster. That was back in the day when I could still actually keep up with him, something that became impossible for me over the next couple years as he got a lot faster and grew into his natural gait, while I got a lot slower.”
“Throughout the ups and downs of any athlete’s high-school career Micah was always as gracious in defeat as he was in victory. In his senior year, he placed first in seven of the nine total meets he ran, won the Southern Peaks League Championship, Colorado 2A Region 3 Championship, and was runner-up Colorado State 2A Champion. One of the greatest moments of his final season was watching Micah take control of a race against a favored 3A rival at the Salida Cross Country Invitational and run away with the win.”
Congratulations, Micah Zeller!
