Columbia Montour Vo-Tech’s Chris Zanolini sets school single-game rushing record

Two weeks ago, junior running back Chris Zanolini rushed for 314-yards on 33 carries and four touchdowns to lead his team over Carson Long Military.

“He is more of a slashing type runner. He follows his blockers really well,” said head football coach Mark Varner. “He is a very patient runner.”

He broke the previous record held by Jay Hardenber of 219 yards in 2010.

Last weekend against North Penn he rushed for 127-yards which puts him within five yards of the single-season rushing record with one more game to go against Pius X this Saturday night.

Kevin Kressler holds the single-season rushing record. In 2006 he rushed for 1,164 yards and Zanolini has 1,099 yards rushing so far this season.

   I’ve seen the Rams play this season and let me tell you, this Zanolini kid has earned every yard. The lone bright spot on that team for sure. Congratulations!
