When it comes to youth sports excellence, few names shine brighter than Eyan Turk. The standout senior from Woodcrest Christian School has just been named the IE Varsity Boys Athlete of the Year for 2024–25, and his story is nothing short of inspirational.

🥇 A Record-Breaking Senior Season

Eyan Turk didn’t just run races—he made history. In the fall, he defended his CIF State Division V cross country title, clocking a blazing 14:32.5 at Woodward Park in Fresno—a Division V record and the 7th-fastest time in meet history.

But Turk wasn’t done. In the spring, he dominated the track, winning the 3,200-meter CIF State Championship with a personal best and Riverside County record of 8:51.62. That performance placed him among Inland Empire legends like Ryan Hall and Caleb Webb—athletes who’ve won state titles in both cross country and track in the same year.

💬 Driven by Faith and Determination

Turk credits his success to more than just training. “My Heavenly Father has been with me through all the good times and the bad,” he shared. His faith, combined with an unshakable work ethic, helped him push through pain and pressure to finish strong—literally. His final 400 meters at the state meet? A blistering 59.92 seconds.

🎓 What’s Next for Eyan?

Eyan is headed to the University of Kentucky, where he plans to compete in longer distances like the 5K and 10K. “I want to see what I can do in the 5K,” he said. “I’m excited to see how that first race goes and shave time from there.”
