Brothers from page BJ until high school. Even then, Charles started out wrestling when he first enrolled at Parkland. And, David was on the JV basket ball squad during his first year at Winston-Salem Prep. "I didn't know too much about track," said David. "I wanted to play football and basketball. Then, 1 started watching my brother. He was doing track. And, our cousin (Jerrod Wiley) was good at track. So, 1 started trying it out." Charles added: "I didn't even start until my ninth grade year. And, I wrestled my first year in high school. That's all I thought I was going to do. Then, coach Hughes asked me to come out to the track." But Parkland track coach Antwan Hughes didn't really get what he wanted out of Charles Lindsay at first. He said that he wasn't that talent ed, and he didn't really want to listen to advice early on. "Charles really didn't have a lot of talent at first," said Hughes. "He didn't really have a lot of respect either. Then, he changed his junior and senior year. He's gotten a lot better. He's gone from having no form to having near perfect form. He went from being not ranked at all to being ranked high in the state. Now he's ranked nationally. It makes me feel good to see his dedication pay off. He was a guy that came to practice everyday and worked very hard." "His brother is good too," Hughes continued.' "Coach Speas does a good job coach ing him. David has got a lot of talent. He could be better than his brother. Both of them will be at the Junior Olympics. So, it should be interested to see how they do." Sibling races Charles Lindsay partici pates in multiple events, including the 400 hurdles, 1 10 hurdles, 4x400 meter relay and 4x100 meter relay.

David Lindsay runs the 110 hurdles, 400, 4x400 and 4x100. David also runs in the 100 for Winston-Salem Prep. Both brothers specialize in hurdles on the track. But David seems to be a better sprinter than his older brother ? according to times posted. "I'm definitely a better sprinter than my brother," said David. "He holds down the hurdles, but I'm the better sprinter. I mess with him sometimes by telling him that I'm better at everything. We have a little rivalry. You can call it something like that." Charles added: "I always pick on David. We do have a friendly rivalry. We've only raced one or two times, but we compare times in races. He's not quite ready for me, but I'm still proud of him. It makes me feel good to see him doing well on the track. Things are looking up for him. I want him to continue to get stronger. I need to improve on some things too. Hopefully, one day we can do something really special together." Charles is hoping to make an impact at NCCU this year, while David has his mind set on putting the Winston-Salem Prep boys on the map with a boy's state title to go along with the championship the Lady Phoenix won last year. "...then I want to hopefully run in the Olympics," con cluded David Linday. "That's something that I definitely want to do someday. I have I short and long term goals.
