Nkosi Pile ‘15 has been awarded a full athletic scholarship to Saint Peter’s University, a Jesuit institution in Jersey City, NJ. Pile, originally from Atlanta, GA, has had an incredible track career at CFS. He holds the school’s record in the 100m dash with 10.74 seconds, and was the anchor of the school’s 4x100 relay team that finished 2nd in the state competition in spring 2014.
