Futsum Zeinasellassie Profile - North Central H.S.

Few distance runners have dominated their sport like North Central's Futsum Zeinasellassie. A three-time state champion in the 3,200-meter in track and field and a three-time individual state cross country champion, the senior is setting a new standard. This fall at the cross country state finals, he covered the 5,000-meter race in 14:48.8, the fastest state finals time in the eight years the IHSAA meet has been held at the LaVern Gibson Championship Course. Zeinasellassie became the third boy to win the meet three straight years. Previously, John Stayton of Anderson in 1946, 1947 and 1948, and Franklin Central's Aaron Fisher matched that in 1998, 1999 and 2000. (Video by Nathan Rausch)
