We congratulate Olympic Gold Medalist, Olympic record-setter, and Cathedral graduate Cole Hocker '19 and extend a warm "you're so welcome" to him. In a post-medal interview, Cole thanked Indianapolis, Indiana, and "especially Cathedral" for all the support. Cathedral is a faith-filled school where caring educators know, love, encourage, and support their students. And that support doesn't end when a student graduates because of our Holy Cross value of Family. After winning Gold, Cole also stated, "I just felt like I was getting carried by the stadium and God.” How beautiful to see our Holy Cross value of Zeal on a world stage! Zeal, which is our Holy Cross Value for this school year, is the great desire to make God known, loved, and served. Those with this virtue fulfill their duties with eagerness, affection, courage, and perseverance. (Kind of like an Olympic Champion!) Greatness called, and you answered, Cole! You make our Holy Cross value of Excellence shine like GOLD!
