Campus’ Nichodaemus Davis-Ludlow – Cross Country Spotlight – Presented by Rachel Janes – Shelter Insurance

By Blake Chadwick

Nichodaemus Davis-Ludlow is a senior cross country runner for the Campus Colts who has been running for only four years.

“Nic is a very kind and soft-spoken person,” head coach Cooper Clark said. “He is hardworking, ambitious, and a lot of our younger runners look up to him. He’s the kind of kid you can rely on. He has a great attitude, and wants to help everyone around him succeed.”

Davis-Ludlow is a hard worker who gives 100% every time he can, whether that is during workouts or during a race, everyone knows he will be the hardest worker.

“Nic is one of the hardest workers on our team,” Clark said. “He is one of the best success stories we’ve had in my tenure as head coach. He has cut more than 2 minutes off of his personal best from his junior to senior year, and has made himself a very valuable member of our varsity squad.”

Coming into the year, Davis-Ludlow wanted to make a name for himself and he has done just that.

The senior has only ever worked hard and never cared what others think. A mindset he lives by and one that he embodies daily.

Another thing that the senior also embodies is his “Thor-like” long blonde hair. A trait that has become one he has been known for most of his life. 

“I have been growing out my hair for 14 years,” Davis-Ludlow said. “Because of my long hair many others used to make fun of me, but I never let that affect me in any way, and the fact that I still have my hair long is proof that I never cared what others said about me.”
