Meet Benjamin Fraley, a senior at Cordova High School who excels both on the track and in the classroom.
A dedicated runner, Benjamin competes in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track under the guidance of coach Craig Hendon.
Off the track, Benjamin shines academically with a 3.9 GPA and a love for studying English.
Though his schedule is now packed with running and college prep, he was once an avid reader. “I used to read a lot—probably ten books a week—but now my focus is on running and preparing for college,” he shared.
Looking ahead, Benjamin plans to pursue a degree in exercise science while continuing his running career at the collegiate level. He will graduate from Cordova in May 2025.
Benjamin is the son of Cecily Caudle.
Congratulations, Benjamin, on your athletic and academic accomplishments. We wish you the best in your future endeavors! WL
