Thomas & Farris Student-Athlete of the Week: Zovek Chapa
Sophomore Zovek Chapa was the top runner for the Fike High boys cross-country team in two meets last week, making him this week’s Thomas & Farris Student-Athlete of the Week.
Zovek was third overall in 19 minutes, 14 seconds in the first 3-A Big East Conference meet of the season Wednesday at Gillette Athletic Complex, helping the Golden Demons to a third-place finish.
At the Seahawk Invitational on the campus of UNC Wilmington on Saturday, Zovek was 10th in 18:28 in the varsity boys meet. That helped the Demons place seventh in the 17-team field.
The son of Hilda and Zovek Chapa of Wilson, Zovek holds a 3.75 grade point average at Fike where he is also a member of the wrestling team.
Zovek holds a second-degree black belt in tae kwon do.
He volunteered his time this summer working at Wilson Medical Center.
