Congratulations to Citrus High Alum Ben Davison and Teammate Sorin Koszyk for a Stellar Performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics!

The Citrus County School District is bursting with pride as Citrus High School alumnus Ben Davison competed this morning in the A Finals in the Men’s Double Sculls at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Ben and his teammate Sorin Koszyk delivered an outstanding performance, securing a 4th place finish with an impressive time of 6:17.02.

The journey to the finals was a thrilling ride for the dynamic duo. Over the weekend, Ben and Sorin displayed their prowess by advancing to the semi-finals, a testament to their rigorous training and unwavering determination. Their hard work paid off spectacularly on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, when they clinched a spot in the A Finals. In a nail-biting race, they came in 2nd place, just behind Ireland, and narrowly edged out New Zealand to secure their position. This remarkable achievement marks a historic moment for the United States, as it is the first time since the 2004 Athens Olympics that an American double has made it to the medal finals in this event.

Ben Davison’s journey from Citrus High School to the Olympics is a story of dedication, perseverance, and exceptional athleticism. Teaming up with Sorin Koszyk, Ben continued to push the boundaries of his abilities, consistently striving for greatness. Their synergy in the boat was evident as they navigated through intense competition, proving their mettle against some of the best rowers in the world. The duo’s 4th place finish in the A Finals is a monumental achievement, showcasing their skill, determination, and the spirit of sportsmanship.

The Citrus County community and Citrus High School are incredibly proud of Ben’s accomplishments. His success serves as an inspiration to current students and student-athletes, demonstrating that with hard work and dedication, dreams can indeed become a reality. Ben’s journey from the halls of Citrus High to the Olympic waters of Paris is a shining example of what can be achieved with passion, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

Congratulations, Ben and Sorin, for making history and making Citrus County proud!
