Huge congratulations to Lee Whitaker from CNP Technologies!
Lee Whitaker, CNP's Sr. Director of Professional Services and the head coach of Fort Mill High School’s cross country and track teams, truly crushed it at the legendary 2025 Badwater 135. Known as the world’s toughest footrace, he powered through 135 grueling miles from Death Valley to Whitney Portal, securing a remarkable 12th place overall and placing 3rd in the 50–59 age group.
This was Lee’s fifth official Badwater finish, joining the ranks of elite ultrarunners, after his previous completions in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023.
Lee’s performance is a testament to his training, grit, and unwavering spirit, and a source of immense pride for everyone at CNP. Please join us in celebrating this extraordinary accomplishment! 👏🥇
