Ragsdale senior Christopher Coke, who will compete in the wheelchair discus, as well as shot put and 100 and 200 meters at the NCHSAA Class 4-A championship: “I get the most enjoyment out of going to states or regionals for track, just being around other athletes. I really enjoy the home meets and the support I get and being around my teammates, but going to states and regionals for high school and regional and national levels for basketball or travel track at those higher levels I kind of feed off the energy.”

Christopher Coke's father, Larry, helps him set up his throwing chair for discus practice at Ragsdale. “I want him to have a healthy lifestyle, to find something he can do outside of (throwing), whether it’s lifting, pushing his chair racing … playing basketball,” Larry said.

Christopher Coke

Ragsdale senior Christopher Coke, who will compete in the wheelchair discus, as well as shot put and 100 and 200 meters at the NCHSAA Class 4-A championship: “I get the most enjoyment out of going to states or regionals for track, just being around other athletes. I really enjoy the home meets and the support I get and being around my teammates, but going to states and regionals for high school and regional and national levels for basketball or travel track at those higher levels I kind of feed off the energy.”

Ragsdale senior Christopher Coke has won age-group national championships in the shot put and discus, as well as swimming.

Christopher Coke's father, Larry, helps him set up his throwing chair for discus practice at Ragsdale. “I want him to have a healthy lifestyle, to find something he can do outside of (throwing), whether it’s lifting, pushing his chair racing … playing basketball,” Larry said.
