his nearest competitor.  Cherry, an Alaska native and High Point University graduate, has resided in Blowing Rock as a Reebok/ZAP Fitness athlete since 2010 and is currently preparing for the Fukuoka Marathon in Fukuoka, Japan on December 2nd.
"Jesse has been running between 115 - 130 miles each week for the last 6 weeks and this half marathon is indicative that he is where he should be with a month to go," ZAP head coach Pete Rea said.
