Bio
Zeniel began his running career his freshman year of high school by trying out for the track team, initially wanting to be a sprinter. Fortunately, the coach saw that Zeniel was more distance event oriented and encouraged him to try those instead. Tohopekaliga High School has a history of sending cross country athletes to Daytona State, and Zeniel is no exception. After putting in the work, and achieving several personal records, he was contacted by Coach Wilson and committed to DSC.
