This was a kid who obviously loved track and was very knowledgeable about the sport. Last season, Wilson paced North to a regional title, then placed in four events at the state meet. He took third on the 1,600 relay and fourth in both hurdles events and the long jump. He improved significantly this spring. It's tough picking which four events to put him in, but I think we've got him in the right four when you take into consideration our team needs.
Many coaches use dual meets to develop younger athletes.
It breaks the monotony. Sometimes even Cavin is amazed by Wilson's feats. He high jumps 6-2 with no practice. What he's achieved in the long jump has come with limited training. I have no doubt that he could be a good miler if he wanted.
