For the Javelina track and field program, Charles put together the sixth-best performance in NCAA Division-II history over the weekend at the MSSU Lion Open with a point total of 5544 in the heptathlon to come away with the gold medal.

The performance from the Rennes, France, native stands as the lone NCAA Automatic Qualifier in the heptathlon in 2019 and shattered both the Lone Star Conference record and TAMUK program record. Florian Obst of A&M-Commerce previously held the LSC record at 5494, while sophomore Johnathon Harper (Lorena, Texas) was the former program record holder at 5130.

For his efforts on the track, Charles was named USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week as well as LSC Co-Track Athlete of the Week.
