CNS Celkupa shines in the talented area; Breaks 1600 Meet Record at 2025 Indoor Meet of Champs

Colts Necks Hunter Celkupa did not make sure that the 1600 -final of Champion of Champion was in his hand in 2025, let alone that he had set up a new Meet record.

With him in a field that consists of talents such as Joe Barrett from CBA and Matthew Littlehales from Delsea, it was also not the expectation of most. Nevertheless, Celkupa ran the race of his season to win the gold and break the meeting record.

The Senior Colts Neck won the 1600 title with a time of 4: 09.12.

“To be honest, I didn't expect it,” said Celkupa. “I wouldn't have thought that we would run so quickly. I only promised myself that I would close this last round in SUB 30, and I did it. “

The previous meeting of 4: 09.42 was determined by Union Catholic in 2022 by Shane Brosnan.

Littlehales, who was right, helped Celkupa to perform historical performance. Celkupa spoke up both Littlehales and Barrett and said that Barrett published the best in all competitors at the event.

Celkupa's feat is impressive in itself, but it becomes more impressive if you take into account the fact that the senior did not compete only three years ago.

Celkupa only recorded the event as a newcomer because he was good at doing exercises during basketball training.

“My basketball coach was like, maybe try Cross Country,” said Celpuka. “Just to be a child who had no idea what he did when he was a newcomer to a meeting of the Champions winner and record holder means so much to me.

“I just try to do as much as possible to consolidate my inheritance in this uniform as much as possible,” added Celkupa. You know, I love Colt's neck. I was here for almost my whole life and can just win something that means so much to me. “
