Charles Rush KCD 1973

Mr. Rush is Kentucky Country Day’s first individual state champion for any sport. During his 1973 senior season, he won two boys’ individual state swimming titles for the Bearcats in the 100-yard backstroke and the 200-yard freestyle. Despite enormous advances in today’s swimming techniques and faster times, Charles’s times in both of his winning events still register in the top three in the KCD boys’ swimming record books. Mr. Rush continued his talents by swimming in college for Miami of Ohio, placing in two events in the Mid-American Conference Championships. Today, Mr. Rush is married with children and lives in Lexington, Kentucky, where he works as vice-president for a regional bank.
