It was an inauspicious beginning for one of the most decorated athletes in Tech cross country and track history. Nahom Solomon originally attended track conditioning meetings in high school after being tricked by a friend into thinking that the meetings were for soccer conditioning instead. “It was about two weeks before I realized that everyone there was for track!” he said with a laugh.
A few years and many miles later, Solomon established a legacy as one of the most decorated cross country and track athletes in Tech history. Solomon led the Jackets in every single cross country meet of the past two years while consistently posting some of the best times in the ACC.
