Lincoln North Star's Liem Chot relaxes in front of the Lincoln North Star team tent decorated in flags representing the heritage of team members during the district cross country meet Oct. 15 at Pioneers Park.
Lincoln North Star senior Liem Chot committed to a cross country and track scholarship at Temple, according to Chot’s high school coach Matt Musiel.
Temple, located in Pennsylvania, is an NCAA Division I school that competes in the American Athletic Conference.
Chot won the Class A state cross country meet in each of his final three years of high school. He's only the sixth three-time champ in all classes in the 60 years of the boys meet.
Chot was undefeated during the 2020 cross country season, won 20 of 23 races since his sophomore year and didn't finish lower than third in that stretch. He set three course records as a senior.
